ATF vs PowerSteering

What's better? Just curious, I ran with ATF in my new gearbox but wondering what the difference is?

Power steering fluid is rated/designed for the higher pressures. Less likely to foam and breakdown.
A better choice than atf would be hydraulic fluid.

I have been running Amsoil Universal ATF for about five years in a remaned gearbox without any problems.
