I cannot see why even the cheapest fluid would make any difference to the pedal feel. All these fluids are basically similar and do not compress. When they get hotter than their rating I can see they could cause problems, but in normal driving that will not occur.
These cars have soft feeling pedals, I went down that road, I think the master cylinder is too small in diameter and feeding brake lines that are also too small, both should be a little big larger. I added SS lines and I do not think it made much, if any, difference at all.
I think that the bores of the rigid lines attached to the frame are smaller than the bores of the flexible lines going from the frame to the brake cylinders and that causes problems.
