I did mine a few weeks ago. It should say it on the cap. I used the OEM Honda fluid because it wasn’t expensive and gave me peace of mind. Maybe not the answer you are looking for but I felt like going with the Honda OEM would be the best way to go for street driving.

DOT 3 or 4. No need for Honda brake fluid. It's not a CVT, where Honda fluid is highly recommended.

I recommend a pressure bleeder. Not vacuum at the calipers. Pressure, which involves a cap on the master, pushing the fluid from the top down. It's super easy that way.
