I buy prestone because of preference, and also because it does not contain alcohol. Alcohol is not good for seals or rubber. Walmart brand, and other cheap brands contain alcohol. I prefer Propylene Glycol antifreeze
If you buy a product because of personal preference, . . . that's fine.
Are you putting this antifreeze in your radiator/cooling system or in your plumbing system?
If it goes in your cooling system, follow the vehicle manufacturers recommendations. If it goes down the drain to winterize your plumbing, do you really think that ethyl alcohol will damage the seals? Think about all the other "stuff" that goes down there. You might want to verify your "seal and rubber" information with credible sources. Taking/passing a college level course in general chemistry might be a good start.
In the U.S., there are over 50 antifreeze manufacturers and tens of thousands of retailers who sell various brands. IMO, if you can't find one that fits your particular preference, that's because you haven't looked very hard.
