Forgive my naeitivity (sp?) but I'll postulate that any coolant is just fine if you change it and flush the system once a year. Its really not a hard task - just open the drain plug and catch all the old stuff in a bucket, then afterwards run freshwater from the garden hose for 15 minutes. The refill with your blend of choice - I usually use prestone but I'm not aware that its a signifigant issue if you change your coolant frequently.
Everything I've read indicates that real problems occur when you either (a) switch type or mix one variant with another in the system, or (b) change the system coolant every 5 years. When you flush the coolant you might as well change the thermostat at the same time.
