Penrite Full Syn vs Maxlife Dex/Merc

Flip a coin they are all good fluids with very equal specs. OEM is what I would use, MaxLife my second choice.
How old is the trans? Id use OEM if you know that is what is currently in the trans, if not anything that meets the spec. I used Penrite in my Toyota as it meets T-IV and I'm happy with it. It does actually shift better but the old fluid was very dirty, probably spent.

Not that it matters greatly, but which Mistubishi fluid? Diamond SP-II? III? etc?
Just about any full syn targeted at the DEX/Merc market would suffice, I suspect. I would choose on cost and ease of availability. Extend the OCI to get your value out of the fluid.

Thanks for the responses.
To answer the questions:
The trans is 10 years old. The current fill is factory. The recommended oci is 105k km / 7 years normal service or 45k km severe service. The trans has 65k km.
The fluid required is SP-III.
A Mitsubishi dealer has quoted a competitive price for OEM fluid and a great price on labor for the work, so that looks like being the way forward.
