[DML] A/C gas types

["Chris Hawes" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am nearing the end of rebuilding my aircon system (evaporator blew) and 
wondering what gas would be best.

>From what I understand:-

R12:-
+ low pressure, less strain on the seals throughout the system.
- illegal, flammable.

R24 or is it RS24:-
+ low pressure, less strain on the seals throughout the system.
- rots the seals.

R134a:-
+ non-flammable
- does not run as cold, runs at higher pressure therefore more likely to 
find leaks.

I have got the above pro's and con's correct.  What should I go for?

Thanks
