Default T5 Gearbox & Ford Diff oils

I have done the search and found too much information to digest

Basically what is recommended for a 3dr:

standard T5 gearbox ???

and

Standard Ford 7.5" rear diff ??

Many thanks

i used to run mobil 75/90 in my box, then it started sticking in 4th,
it had broken and bent some sort of guide things, cant remember now what they were called,
the man that sorted it said it was most likely down to the oil i was running and to run the genuine ford mtx 75/90 oil ,
i did as he said , so far so good

Checked his site again and it suggests either
Millers Oils Millermatic UN ATF

or

Fuchs TITAN ATF 3000 Multipurpose Dexron II ATF


Are both these products as good as one another?

And for the diff he suggests

Fuchs TITAN Gear Hyp 90 Hypoid Gear Oil GL5 80w-90

Any feedback on any of the said products appreciated
