Brake Fluid Advice

My car is a 1991. I have a very strong feeling that the brake fluid in this car is still the factory stuff. I also notice when pressing hard on the brakes, that the car pulls. Something I want to do is just completely flush out the brake system and get some new fluid in there.

I'm no brake fluid expert, so I'd like to hear what a good fluid to use would be. I've done some searching and it sounds like ATE makes some good fluid. But I'm not convinced it is for me.

This car is a summer toy, that I just toy around on the streets most of the time. See's very little track time. So, I'm not looking for the best Race Ready fluid on the planet. Whatever fluid I use, I would prefer to not have to replace it again at all soon, or in the next 5 years for that matter. I've heard that some of the better fluids may perform better, but don't last as long because of moisture. I'm trying to simply find a fluid that is a good compromise between performance, and longevity.

Open to any suggestions, but please keep my goal in mind. I don't AutoX the car or anything like that. Just some hard braking after a pull here and there, that's it. Would something like sythetic Valvoline stuff work?
