BTS 4R100 fuild

I just got my Brian's Truck Shop Transmission and I have the old one out ready to put in the new one. Is there any reason not to use Fully Synthetic transmission fluid in a brand new transmission? What should I use?

Brian recommends Schaeffers Tranny fluid which is Synthetic

In the absence of being able to get Schaeffer's fluid, you might give Mobil1 a shot. It's a very good fluid and I've had very good luck with it so far (over two years now). Shop around though -- I got it for $5.50/quart instead of $7.

The closest Napa had Valvoline Dextron V Fully Synthetic. Is this ok to use or not? It says for most Ford vehicles.
