Default Boxster S brake bleeding/fluid

Getting ready to flush my brakes on an 01 Boxster S. Porsche sells their dot 4 at a premium. Is there anything special in that admittidly georgus can or will regular DOT 4 be fine. I dont race so not worried about going to a race type fluid, well hard in the twisties once in a blue moon, you know. Any special attention areas when doing the service? I posted this on the wrong board so here it is again.

Most people seem to use ATE blue or gold. Most vendors have it for $15 or less.

Our local guys use ATE - it has a higher boiling point than the Porsche branded brake fluid. Any DOT 4 fluid would be fine.

Thanks. I like the thought of the ATE but I was told it would absorbe moisture more readily than the DOT 4, but you guys probably race and change alot more frequent than I would.
