I use silicone, primarily over paint concerns on a meticulous
restoration. However, if paint is not a concern and you are not
willing to replace all of your brake lines and rebuild all brake
components, stick with DOT 3. It is impossible to flush out
traditional brake fluid and replace it with silicone, everything must
be replaced and/or rebuilt. It's all a matter of priorities. Each
type of fluid has it advantages and disadvantages. IMHO it all boils
down to personal preference.
