One benefit to DOT 5 is that it will not affect paint, if spilled on the painted surface. This came in handy last month when my slave cylinder line sprung a leak and sprayed the painted engine compartment.
I would also agree that the original shuttle valve should be eliminated, you can put a "tee" in or a modern valve that can modulate the pressure Wilwood makes one.
