Transmission/Transfer Case fluid options

I've been following the thread called Transmission Fluid change (poll). In that thread there are a couple recommendations. Mainly dealer service with Acura fluids or Amsoil. It seems most recommendations for the transmission and transfer case seem to be Amsoil.

My local shop gave me a quote for BG transmission fluid and transfer case gear oil. What are your thoughts about BG fluids?

(from the quote)
for the transmission
BG ATF
BG Quick Clean
BG ATC Plus

for the transfer case
BG Gear Oil
BG MGC

I know BG has a good reputation for BG 44K and I know a lot of VW techs recommend adding BG MOA to help reduce oil consumption.

Thanks for your thoughts
Look in threads where owners put different fluids in their cars only to regret it. Transfluid, gear lube and transfer case fluids. These other fluids may be good for somethings but not for others. When it comes to fluids you should always use oem.
