DOT 5 is more compressible, somewhat "spongier" feel.  If your not reallly 
pushing 
the car hard, it is probably fine.  It is lower maintenance and you don't have 
to 
worry 
about it's secondary function as a good paint remover.

DOT 4 is "higher performance" but has more affinity for water, if you don't 
change 
it 
somewhat regularly has the potential to rust the internals of your brake system.

I personally am happy with my DOT 5.

My $0.02
