They are all about the same. Someone on the scanner group posted their 
makeup not too long ago. I think they were all naptha based mostly 
(except for the old school variety which are all mineral oil). You can 
check the archives on the hi-end scanner list for more info.

BTW, the word on the street is that they will leave less of a residue 
if you touch the film less  (i.e. the more oil from your fingers gets 
mixed with the fluid, the more streaks will be left behind) So when you 
remove the wet film, don't touch the fluid and hold it only by the 
edge.
