Default Which Power Steering Fluid?

Since Amsoil isn't releasing their PS fluid by next weekend, I need to figure out what to put in my truck. I flushed it once before and used synthetic, but I can't remember which one I used. I would have to go through my receipts. Whatever it was, it stopped the whine in cold weather.
However, I have a MileMarker Hydraulic winch that I will be installing Sept 1-3, so keep that in mind when you recommend something. For those of you who do not know, the hydraulic winch is powered by the PS pump when the winch is engaged.

Thanks!

Chrysler recommends ATF+4, which can be found in a fully synthetic formula!!!

Where does it recommend that? Show me where and I will be forever grateful.
Everything I have seen says NOT to use ATF. If I am wrong, I will gladly use Amsoil ATF.
