you can use pretty much what you like, although you should flush if switching to or from an organic. (although i flush anyway).

i use motul's inugel optimal, ready mixed.

When i asked my local subaru dealer they said to use a 50/50 mix of the green stuff. Any other stuff should be fine though really as long as you flush the whole lot through.
If theres nothing wrong with your existing coolant you could obviously just re use that though...
