Yep.  R12 is the best, if you can find it affordably.

        When I re-did my old Golf's AC, I preferred to keep it R-12 rather 

than convert.

        I went to www.epatest.com/, and paid $20 to get an EPA 609 

certification.  The EPA 609 cert allows you to legally buy R-12.  You 

download the manual, then take an open-book test online.  It's REALLY hard 

to fail, as all the answers are in the manual.

        I bought my R-12 on eBay, you'll pay around $20-25 a can.  Two or 

three cans will set you back $50-60 or so.  You're supposed to email the 

seller a copy of your EPA 609 cert, but not all sellers require you do 

that.  I recharge my own systems, don't know if you could show up at an AC 

shop with cans of R-12 and have them do the recharge.
