IMHO it is better to fill w/ the correct anti-freeze mix. In my  
experience unless you can turn the car over and end for end, you will  
not get the engine block drained of fluids and that leaves a couple  
places where local freezing could occur and cause damage. Not saying  
it will happen, but if it's filled with the proper mix, you know it  
won't freeze.
