I think Coolant choice will wait til after I've had a look at the condition of the currently installed Gasket etc..
I also plan on changing a few O-rings - so may be worth considering possible affects Silicate could have on these
i.e Nitrile/Viton...
I found a Service Bulletin from Federal Mogul r.e the Payen BW750 change from Red to Blue "Silicone" - "C30 Silicone" - is mentioned as the Elastomer Material
and the change from Red to Blue is only Cosmetic.
