Motor oil in the case. Should be Jaso rated, or at least not have the energy conserving seal on it for the happiness of your clutch. Not sure about testing those components, here is where a quality shop manual pays for itself though.

Pros of 400ex: It's known to be bulletproof, power, suspension, rather new ('02), basically a better all-around quad.

Pros of Warrior: Cheaper, also reliable, but not as much, 6-speed, has reverse.

Which one should I go for? The 400ex is attractive to me because it's a thing I could be satisfied with the rest of my life, but I might be hungering for more power with the Warrior. But the Warrior is cheaper and I've heard great things about them. Plus, they have reverse. I don't mind working on a quad either, I feel it'll get me to like the quad more.
