So I was checking out the manual today and it states DOT3 or DOT4 for Europe, other than Europe DOT3.

Why would Europe get a DOT4 recommendation but not Aus?

In any case, what is the general consensus around here?

dont mix the dots. use dot 4 , completely bleed the whole system,start with the caliper furthest from the master cylinder to the closest one, never run it out of fluid though, and NEVER depress the brake pedal FULLY.

I take it this is suitable...

Would you recommend another brand, Castrol etc over the Nissan stuff?
