Default Time for a brake fluid replacement

I'm going to replace the brake fluid in my '95 Accord EX. Could someone recommend a good replacement? Should I just put the OE stuff back in or maybe go to synthetic? If so, what?

Thanks in advance for your help.

(Yes, I copied my posts to make it easy on myself.)

What do you do with the car?

Daily driven?
Track?

Just out of curiosity, how often are you supposed to change your brake fluid?

I change mine every 2 years, regardless of miles. The stuff absorbs moisture & that makes it corrosive.
