If you remove boiling point as a need/factor, is there any performance or other differences between fluids? There's DOT 4 fluids out there that run the gamut of temperatures, so I was just curious if one outweighs the other for a DD if boiling isn't a factor. This is making the safe assumption that the average person will never come close to boiling brake fluid on a daily driver even with some spirited mountain roads.

DOT4 has higher dry boiling points, but is more prone to moisture.
DOT3 has lower dry boiling points, but is less prone to moisture.
DOT5 will **** your **** right up. DO NOT USE DOT5.
Other than that, and discounting boiling temps, there's zero difference between DOT3 and DOT4, past a few bucks at the register.
