DOT4 and a power bleeder. The GClub site has a good read on brake bleeding but with the power bleeder.

I use my Mighty Vac but it is bit of a pain and can get meesy. The only good thing is that I can do it myself. If you have to do it the old fashiioned way you will need a helper to push the pedal etc.

Dave's tip about sucking the dirty fluid out of the master cylinder is a good one. It is easier to suck it out of the master(at least part of it) from the top than at the wheel.
