I'd check the link in my last post for differences, they use different pumps, radiators, resevoirs, and fans. Pretty much each kit has a variation in each component.
Distilled + biocide is the ideal coolant. Biocide keeps junk from growing in the water. Therefore, any coolants that are sold are generally regarded by those "in the know" as unnecessary - you'll pay more for no tangible benefits. They don't improve cooling capabilities, but they may help prevent corrosion if you are mixing metals, or help stop algae if you aren't using a biocide in your distilled water.
