I'd use an aluminum pan. I use Mobil 1 synthetic trans fluid.

I've had very good luck with TCI synthetic tranny fluid. I can't find any good stuff locally, so I just order it from Summit whenever ordering other stuff. That way I've always got a supply on hand.

I've always run a stock pan. Never had any issues with it.
