Depends on what you compare it to. I'm sure there are fluids that have better base and additives, but AT is designed with a specific friction properties in mind and if the ATF doesn't match this characteristic, it could be bad.
Currently using Maxlife but doesn't seems to be as good as Specialty Formulation's ATF Z1. Haven't tried other fluids yet.
