If you are under warranty, use Honda and keep all your receipts. If you are way out of warranty, use whatever you think is best. Redline may well be better, I don't know. If the tranny goes, you have to pay for it anyway. But as long as you have any warranty, stick to honda so they have a harder time trying to void your warranty. Simple as that.
On this note, I make sure my mom takes her car to honda every 20k for a tranny flush while under warranty. Keeping all records so when the tranny dies, we can prove that the car was well maintained by THEM, and ahead of shedule. Just waiting....
