I go through so much fluid in the lab that cheap distilled water and PT_nuke is my best choice, even Minnesota tap is used on the pump test bench. For those of you who do not have distilled water readily available, Feser Ultra Pure comes to mind... just know you are more than likely buying water from China that was shipped to Germany, then to your favorite reseller only to be shipped to your door. If color is your thing, you have a wide selection and can make your choice based on which coolant best matches the colors in your build. If you are looking for a coolant that has a bit more science and technology rolled in, Ice Dragon Nanofluid is available and has had colors tests with Mayhem dyes to show it can be made into any color you wish if the white is not the look you are after. Same goes for distilled water as well, Mayhem dyes can be added to achieve almost any color if you cannot find a pre-mix that suits your color palette. Just remember, all dyes/color will breakdown and fade over time. Personally, I would avoid the FluidXP Nano-Fluid though as the performance is abysmal. Just to reiterate, thermal performance differences amongst the coolants is very small, hopefully this puts the age-old question to rest.
