I use halfords concentrate pink (oat) ethylene glycol based and dilute with deionised water. This is probably also what their website suggests if you type in the reg.
I've just finished a rebuild with uprated head gaskets, that are nitrile rubber coated and i was particularlly interested in making sure the coolant was safe to use with nitrile rubber, and it is.

Depends what year
92-98 use silicate (blue generally) then from 98 onwards they use OAT stuff
i use halfrods silicate blue in my classic, 10 years so far with 3- 4 yr changes its been fine

The filling method I documented in the thread below has worked a treat several times for me on my Hawk, filling from the turbo feed hose on the top of the header tank.
