Note that Sierra is propylene, not ethylene glycol based. Do not mix. Also, temperature transfer characteristics are not as good. Whatever coolant you use, stick to one brand/type, use distilled water if you live in a hard water area and change it as recommended by that manufacturer. For the Waterboxer, I have not seen much difference in results even with the green stuff.
