I don't like Dexcool, becuase most anything can contaminate it and lead to corrosion. Note that the sealer GM apparently puts in all new motors was such a problem. Even worse, air is a contaminent, so if your system leaks and runs low for a while, you get corrosion. Google "Dexcool corrosion" for more info.
So, personally, I'd go G05. It has a long history of no problems!
As for your parents car: Prestone green contains high silicates i.e. sand as a corrosion inhibitor. Silcates are abrasive and are known to wear out water pumps. That's why Saab recommends a low or no silicate formula. Whether you can "prove" that... I dunno... it's definitely not on the GM recommended list for this car.
