Default Best Power Steering Fluid?

Might be overkill to get the best, and I should just simply settle for what's available at the local auto parts store, but my power steering fluid is hovering a litter under the MIN line and I'd like to fill 'er up.

What do you recommend?

I just emptied out my reservoir and filled with new stuff. Man the stuff was pitch black and smelled. I used good ole Landrover Steering fluid from the dealer. they sold it to me at cost. $26ish.

my inde shop let me know that i should only use the fluid from land rover. the system uses a mineral oil based power steering fluid and i shouldn't put the petroleum based "over the counter" stuff found in my local auto parts store.
