Default Brake Fluid?

Hello,

So I just had my master cylinder and booster redone on my 70 Chevelle SS. I am kind of scared to get fluid on my shiny booster. So I have to ask, what kind of brake fluid do you use?
I am not driving this car in auto crosses or anything, its used as a weekend cruiser...

Thanks for the help!!

I used silicone in mine. More susceptible to boiling, but won't harm the paint.

DOT 5. Can be tough to seal off at the fittings, and gets 'spongier' quicker imo (think racing!), but doesn't absorb H2O and is 'friendlier'.
