Default Brake Fluid Recommendations

Right, I'm in need of some recommendations for brake fluid for my Clio 172 Cup. I did a track day at the weekend and boiled the fluid, so I now need to change it.

It is mostly used on the road, but will see occasional track use. I've searched on the Clio Sport forum and the views seem very mixed.

I don't want something ridiculously expensive that I'm going to have to change every couple of months, as it's a road car at the end of the day, but something a bit better than standard would be better.

To be fair to the standard stuff, I don't know how old it was, and it did only go after a decent 20 minute session where I wasn't being particularly sympathetic to the brakes, but it would be nice to have something that is able to take a bit more abuse.

Any recommendations?

For what it's worth, the car is virtually standard and uses road tyres with factory brakes.
