Default ATF +4 Alternative

As we all know, our Automatic Transmissions are extremely fussy.
We can only use ATF+4 fluid. Our only supplier seems to be the dealership.
After a bit of searching around, I've found this:

Does anyone use this fluid? Any good?

Actually there are now a few alternatives, but I have always used Mopar ATF+4 in both transmission and transfer case. Whatever you pick, make sure it is the newer MS 9602 compatible. I also looked at a few other options and asked if anybody else had any experience with them:

Incidentally I went to the dealer Friday and picked up 4x4L bottles of Mopar ATF+4 at a price cheaper than any of the other options! I plan on doing a fluid change on my TJ and WG next weekend (long weekend in NZ). Check with your dealer and ask for a discount.

I agree, I did the change on the transfer case... easy as and was cheaper to use Mopar at around 50 bucks au per bottle. However I haven't grow the balls to touch the trans fluid yet as you also need to change two filters and a seated ring holding one of the filters in place as well as flush the system otherwise no point in changing fluid now is there..... then comes the sealent that CANNOT get inside the trans fluid...... might buy the oils and get Ultra tune or someone similar to do the job instead as I want the Mopar oils instead of the castrol versions that may be useless....
