I heard that Dexron III ATF is not the best fluid to use. What is the forum's current thinking: Type F ATF, or some specific brand PS fluid?

I also have a bottle of AT-205 made by ATP, Inc. I have used it with great success on seal leaks on automatic transmissions. Has anybody used it for a PS seal leak?
How about MB p/s fuid? I'm surprised this is even an issue because the quantity needed and the cost are both negligible. I just paid $6.50 a quart at my local dealership. That's with my little discount, but even so, it's just $8.50 a quart list.
