What coolant is best?

I switched to what EEuro said was "Mercedes Coolant" it is a purple pink color. It is FEBI Bilstein 19400 and gives no ingredients other than a claim that it is safe for all engine types.
I have had no problems with overheating or apparent gelling, but I have had my radiator leak within 8 months. It was the original 1994 radiator fo I'm not sure the coolant had anything to do with it.
I thought at one time this was mentioned as a possible problem coolant, but I am not sure.
"Description: 1.5L (now Purple in color) lifetime anti-freeze. Also known as “Mercedes coolant.” Nitrate, Amin & Phosphate free. When mixed at a proportion of 1:1, this will protect to a temperature of -37 celcius(2:3 to -25, 1:2 to -20). Protects cooling systems against freeze and rust, while neutral to metals, rubber parts and sealing materials. Made in Germany."
