I just did a bunch of research on the this subject, getting ready to install my BBk. The Motul is awsome if you need the higher boiling point. The only problem is, it is very Hrdoscopic, meaning it attracts water very well. Moul reccomends changing at least annually, unless you bleed regulary, example every track day. I currently run it in my VFR and bleed and refill several times a season, with no issues. Based on my research, I went with ATE Super Blue, which reccomends changing about every three years. It iis also about half the price of teh 600. Several members are using Valvoline Synthetic with good results as well. It all comes down to what you are planning, for a street car, it is probably overkill and requires a little extra maintenance.

Tire Rack has one of the best prices I have seen on ATE Blue, or you could check some of the sponsors.

If you want the Valvoline Synthetic it is available at most parts stores. You will probably need at least 1 liter. I completely drained 1 liter when I put on my 4 piston calipers and braided lines.

Sorry for all of the noob questions, but I don't know much about brakes.

If you do intend to track the car at some point, I would go with the ATE, for extra safety margin at high temps. Another nice thing about the ATE, is when it comes time to change it you can get the ATE TYP 200 Amber Brake Fluid, which has same properties as the blue, only difference is the color, that way you can tell when all teh fluid is drained.
