Paul,
I remembered this from some time back, it is a scanned page from a table of
various heat transfer fluids.  Basically water is the best, the properties
you want are

high heat capacity,
low viscosity, and
high thermal conductivity

The organic heat transfer fluids all are "worse" than water, and of course,
ethylene glycol/water mixtures are less than water but better than most
organics.
