I run the penrite racing brake fluid in both cars. It's good for street and track work.
Any good dot 4 should be adequate, I've ran Castrol Dot 4, it's fine too. I wouldn't bother with dot 5.

I only mention Low Viscosity because the VW brake fluid specification 501 14 calls for a low viscosity fluid. Most Dot4 and DOT5.1 fluids don't meet the spec but I would think that in Australian ambient temperatures it might not be an issue.
Dot 5 is silicone based and not compatible with glycol based brake fluids.
