This has been discussed to death, try searching for it.
I use Synchromesh (GM synchromesh to be precise).
EDIT: on my most recent flush I went with whatever the OEM stuff is. Just because I had a hookup with it haha.

note that mitsubishi doesn't recommend the use of synthetic oil on the Ralliart tranny
they say the tranny is different and putting synthetic will damage it

That isn't true. As long as it's a GL-4 oil, synthetic is fine. I've used nothing but BG Synchroshift II (fully synthetic) for 141,000 miles now. Trans shifts like new.

Amsoil's is good fluid, but it didn't seem to like cold weather too much, shifting was really difficult on a cold trans (sub-freezing temps.) That's just my experience, though, many, many people swear by their trans fluid.

I also use Redline. Shifts are great. I may give BG Sycroshift a try next time though. Like Otter stated, synthetics are fine in our cars.
