It's about 15$, and as far as different goes, I've not seen any other atf that is approved for the application. On older cars Mobil 1 is recommended. For the new ones it says audi atf only. The good thing is that for most differentials you can use regular 75W90 synthetic gear oil from your local store.
I'm going Redline fluids throughout, using their recommendations. Worked well on all my prior vehicles including the Porsche, I see no reason to stick with factory fluid. To each his own though.

I feel the same way, my car is all Redline. So far the Trans has been happy.

Just as I figured out later, there are many ATF's approved for ZF transmissions. The cheapest ones will be Valvoline Mercon V, Quakes State Multi Vehicle and Castrol Multi Vehicle.
