BBK IMO would be the wiser of the two choices, but if you're braking incorrectly...or using a fluid that cannot handle heat, you'll still fade.

I was thinking fluid initially as well, but at last track day in NJ i was able to perform a full impromptu flush in the paddock with new ATE 200 fluid, and still had an issue by end of session. There was some smoke coming up from front calipers after the session. No visible fluid had spilled or leaked. Brakes were soft for sure, but had not gone away (prob b/c I was using actual track pads)
It certainly may be my technique, braking a bit too early and for too long that's doing it as well.
Last thought...(this may sound stupid) but I am using CCW classic wheels, and wondered if because of the mesh pattern, there simply isn't enough air getting to the rotor, as opposed to a more open design.
