I use ATE Blue also, and carbotech XP-8s.
Awesome awesome setup for track days. Your brakes are there 100% of the time.
Aside from track day usage and a need for tolerance to high temperatures there really is no reason to use anything other than a normal dot 3.

Adrian, you can actually silence the XP-8s for street use. Find the highest temp silicon lube you can and put it on the backing plate where it touches the caliper. That pretty much silences them until you go to the track and cook it off.
The highest temp stuff I've found is a clear NAPA brand silicon lubricant with a high end of 600*. It usually works well for a track day or two then I need to reapply. Keeps the brakes quiet as a mouse.
