I don't know if it is the most economical, but I changed my fluid recently with ATE SL.6. The ABS and ESP require fluid with low viscosity. ATE says it is formulated for that so that's why I picked it. Others have used other fluids and I haven't heard any negative comments from them. You might STFF for other ideas.

Good luck
