Default T-5 Trans Fluid

I have a 93 with the World Class T5 and am going to change my transmission fluid. I read that GM Synchromesh was the best stuff to put in there. I also saw that Royal Purple makes a Synchromesh. ANd then there is Mobile 1 synthetic ATF. Is there a difference? What do you suggest? Thanks.
