Got mine from irotors as well. Good quality and fit perfectly.
As far as fluid goes, unless you really work the breaks hard DOT 3 will suffice. I tend to burn up DOT 3 and on previous cars even vapor locked my brakes a few times.....boiled the break fluid which causes it to expand and lock the brakes.
Anyway, if you're like me then the higher DOT ratings would be the best way to go. By far DOT 5.1 is the top of the line. The military used to use DOT 4 silicone synthetic fluid but had too many problems with moisture contamination. Whatever you decide, stay away from any fluids containing silicone.
Here's a link that will give you some good info on brake fluid:
