anyone have any experience with any liquid cooling systems using coolant instead of water.
as well has anyone any experience with liquid/ refrigerant cooling heatsinks?

look at Agnetix for a commercial example.
Used to be a dude who cooled COBs on aluminum square tubing with custom end caps but never followed up.

I am liquid cooling my quantum boards (2x2 so need to minimise heat)
Coolant generally had worse thermal conductivity than water, It is used for temperature tolerance, anti bacterial and/or running mixed metal cooling (copper and aluminium in the same loop)
Liquid/refrigerant heatsinks I assume you are talking about heat sinks with vapour tubes? The best way to think about it is everything is an exchanger rather than cooling mechanism.
The advantage of liquid cooling is I can turn off the pump and rad fans to warm the tent. Heatsinks are passive but not as easy to transfer heat outside of grow area. Also water-cooling can be used in a sealed environment
