my mate lent me a bleed kit for my juicy threes with some standard dot fluid...the brakes say they can take several fluids tho...so what is best for the brakes?

I used 5.1 and it was okay.

It probably says it can take DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 right?
Either is fine, DOT 5.1 has a slightly higher boiling point.

I very much doubt that you'd notice any difference at all in practice.
