I had a rebuild with DTT parts done last year. My DTT transmission builder used ATF + 3, so that is what I use.

Do a search on the forum, there should be tons of posts concerning trans fluids and additives.

AMSOIL ATF + 4 works great good for 100,000 miles

I don't know if it a GM specific fluid. Mercon Dexron is the name and they list a couple of different applications on their label, I use the cheap advance auto stuff.
