and for those who say "yeah, but ZF is trying to sell you something so of course they're gonna say use their fluid"

Valvoline is also selling you something. Stick with the only fluid these were designed to use.

Don't even get me started on Redline D4 or D6.
What's wrong with the Redline stuff? I ran it in my auto before I 6mt swapped and it shifted great (was a GM though). Now I'm running D6 in my 6mt and the shifts are much smoother.
