Don't know about the best but I have been using the AlphaCool Water additive Tec-Protect-UV Green for years. Never had a problem. There are loads of types out there but all my water cooling equpitment is Aplha Cool so I just use that stuff.

For best temperatures and for the least conductive, use distilled water
