if you dont drain and try to suck up antifreeze, the thermostat slams shut and the waterpump just pushes it out the exhaust. so the block is still filled with pure water and all your antifreeze just went out the exhaust. thats how the thermostat works

That's probably completely untrue unless you live in Figi. Chances are the gallon jugs are warmer than the city water pumped thru your hose, so the TS will open.
But, to completely answer the OP's question, there are 2 types of marine anti-freeze. All are prop gly based, not green ethyl based you might use in a car. Oner is for marine water systems (the sink), and the other for the engine. The engine variety is more expensive and specifically states on the bottle that it has additives for engine use.
Not a bad idea after you drain to keep the TS and all internal parts immersed in the good stuff.
