engine fluids... recommendations/suggestions?

Ok, pretty soon I have to start filling just about all the fluids in the SS, and some i havent decided what to use yet and such. Also i dont know if there are special fluid types out there that work better. I'll do a quick rundown of what i plan on using and If you see something not right or know something better, let me know...

Engine oil: Conventional 5w30 for break-in, (20 min run time then new oil again) Then 5w30 till 500 miles, change oil, then stick with conventional?

Power steering: all drained, basic power steering fluid im thinking

Brakes: DOT 3...any special suggestions?

Clutch: ? brake fluid as well?

Transmission T56: ATF fluid.. but synthetic worth it?

Coolant: engine is Dry, rad is dry, all hoses empty, only heater core may have something left but i'll flush it. I was planning on using like the prestone "all types" with a 50/50 mix w/distilled water

...i think that covers everything. The rear is still fine.
