Carl,
One other issue.  I have found the DOT 5 to be "spongier" even after proper 
bleeding.
On the brakes, this was not an issue for me, but it seemed to make it harder to 
get crisp
clutch engagement.

I still vote for DOT 5 on the "show" car, and maybe even on the daily driver.
The issue about paint is a real one.  Some brands are worse on paint than others
in my experience.  Castrol LMA seems particularly harsh on paint.

TeriAnn (et al) - if one has replaced all rubber and brake lines is there an
advantage to changing to DOT5 vs. reverting to DOT4.
