I have used nothing but the silicone fluid in my muscle cars for 20 years or more. Mostly so I didn't damage the paint anywhere. But I don't use it in any of my driver vehicles. No advantage there for me.
If you do convert, be sure to flush the entire system with alcohol and them blow the system dry with air. As mentioned, don't mix the different kinds.
Agree, I converted when restoring my car, every component had not been used and clean.
