"Orange" anti-freeze

My 1997 Owner's Manual says "use a high quality ethylene glycol based
anti-freeze coolant with a silicate inhibitor". The extended life
anti-freeze I put in says it contains no silicates, but uses premium rust
inhibitors. Should I be concerned? I always use distilled water and not
tap water. Anyone know the difference between silicate rust inhibitors and
premium rust inhibitors-if any, and should this matter on a V8 radiator and
water pump?

Thanks
Jay
