I really don't see the advantage of using silicone over Castrol's brake

My understanding is that silicone fluid will not ruin a paint job
like other fluids. Imagine leaking fluid at highway speeds and the
amount of fluid that could swirl around the car due to back draft. I'm
told it can really mess up your paint.

What really are the chances of that happening in a brake system? Besides if
you were spraying brake fluid enough get on the paint, you've got alot more
worries than some ruined paint, especially at highway speeds! :-)
One of my concerns using DOT 5 is that it traps air bubbles which can
cause a spongy pedal.
