The clutch system has no impact on the tranny internals lubrication.  The hydraulic system is isolated from the gear set.  Also, it's the same clutch disks whether the actuation is done via a hydraulic or manual cable system.  So, again, no difference there due to the hydraulic clutch.

Personally I use ATF in the primary (Mobil 1 synthetic) and Redline Heavyweight in the gear box.
