Replacement for ATE Super Blue bake fluid choices...???

Since my last brake fluid flush ATE Super Blue has apparently been taken off the local shelves. A quick net search suggests I can still get it. I guess if I have to I will, but would prefer to buy something suitable locally. Is there anything out there you guys would recommend for a street car? Hopefully something that doesn't soak up moisture like a sponge and have to be changed every week.

ATE Type 200 is supposed to be the same thing without the dye.

The one time I tried ATE Super Blue, it didn't perform as well as the off-the-shelf Pennzoil and Castrol DOT4 I had been using at the track. Cheaper, more readily available, better. Just not blue...

Thanks for the responses and the link. I'll be ordering up. Since doing this the last time I finally got one of those Motive bleeders. First time using it on the 7.

I love my motive bleeder. One of the better tools I've purchased for my car.
