If those are the only choices I'll take none of the above.

Your transmission should use MERCON V. You won't hurt it with MERCON, and MERCON is almost identical to DEXRON III.

If you use this method: Changing ATF Fluid in a E4OD and 4R100 transmission .: Articles you will need 20 quarts.

MERCON V is better, DEX/MERC will work.
