Default Transmission and Rear Diff fluid

I've been reading all of the posts regarding fluid changes and the recommendations to change this fluid early in the life of the car. The owner's manual recommends the following:

Manual Trans - Mercon ATF 3.2 Quarts
Rear Axle - 75W-140 Synthetic fluid + 4oz Friction Modifier XL3

The recommendations appear to be to use Royal Purple:

Manual Trans - Synchromax
Rear Axle - Max Gear 75W-140 (+ friction modifier?)

Has anyone used Redline oil? If so what did you use in Trans and Rear Axle? Thanks for everyone's input!

Ok - so did some quick research on Redline:

Looks like 75W140 High Performance Gear Oil is the right match - with 75W140NS an option if you want no slip additive

For the trans - they offer Synthetic D4 ATF to replace the Mercon ATF - would this be the right fluid?
