The advantage to ATE is it's slow water absorption, i.e. it is good for people too lazy to flush the fluid as often as they are supposed to. If you flush often Ford Heavy Duty is the bargain of the century at about 1/3 the price of ATE. The exotic fluids (Castrol SRF, RBF 600, Endless RF-650) are a waste of money unless you are really punishing your brakes and getting the caliper temperatures high ... which seems unlikely as your pads would have failed first and the front of your car is already embedded in the tire wall.
