R134a is what's being installed in todays world.
But depending what under dash unit you buy could be upwards to $1500+ You'll need a fan shroud for one thing. And a add on or different water pump & crank Pullies.
I'd say if you don't have time to learn how to do this and installing it yourself then go to an AC shop and say do it. asap.

If no shroud may run hotter in city stop & go driving.
Plus not get enough air being pulled through the condenser cause the AC to blow warm air in stop & go driving. This is why a electric fan is really needed with r134a AC systems.
With R12 systems did not have the warm vent air in stop & go driving, but best to have a fan shroud to keep the engine heat under control driving in traffic.

I went with Nostalgic mainly because they are only ~2 hrs from me, so went there to see what underdash unit fit best. I'm satisfied so far, but of course it's not in and running yet so don't know long term reliability of it.
