New calipers came today for my Rt. They are brembos 6pfront 4 rear. Which brake fluid should I use to flush and fill the system with. Should I upgrade or continue using same fluid. Never track the car. Just my daily driver.

Use the factory fluid. With no track use -- actually even with some track use -- and a daily driver the factory fluid is quite adequate.
There is no concern about any incompatibility between the fluid that is in the untouched system areas now and what fluid you will be using to flush and then refill/bleed the entire system.
And as the pads/rotors wear and fluid needs to be added you don't have to worry about keeping any special fluid -- unopened -- on hand in the car to use to top up the brake fluid reservoir.

If you are going to bleed the system I highly recommend one of these. Just flushed my durango brake system (used alfaobd to purge the ABS module as well) and it makes the bleeding task a one man operation.

DOT 4 requires you to flush it every 2 years, time based because of how hydroscopic it is. If you plan on track use (heating up your fluid with heavy braking) something with a higher boiling point may be appropriate.
Utah here. Same sentiment. Otherwise it all works fine--right up until it doesn't--but then it's too late...
I switched to Castrol React SRF DOT-4--simply because it's the biggest hammer available.
