Brake Fluid

On a semi-related topic, to replace all the rubber in the system you need to get the fluid res-master cyl; master cyl seals; front piston seals; front piston dust covers; rear wheel cylanders; and 3 rubber hoses. Does this sound right? I'm doing all my brake work and switching to Dot5 so I want to make sure I get all the rubber out of there.
This came from the Ramps or Jacks topic. I'm about to rebuild my master cylinder and had planed on using DOT3 fluid. Is this the correct fluid? What's the difference in DOT3 and DOT5? The Opel service manual calls for Delco Supreme No. 11 or equivalent.
