Dot 5 Silicone fluid opinions

Many years ago I did a complete rebuild of the brake system on my 74 corvette. I went with the Dot 5 silicone fluid because of the calipers on the vettes always end up leaking. Ive had no issues with it but have read where many don think it produces as good/solid a brake pedal. I was wondering if anyone has gone this route with your a bodies and what your thoughts were.
Thanks Rodney
