For exhaust gas leaking into my coolant should I use the Seal-Up from Blue Magic or Bar's Leaks 1111 Block Seal Permanent Head Gasket Fix or Bar's Leak HG-1 HEAD SEAL Blown Head Gasket Repair or Steel Seal or Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer

As for the products you ask about try getting the manufacturers user manual or instructions.
It all depends on the severity of the leak. Usually it's not possible to tell where it is leaking into the water jacket but in most cases it's on the head gasket.
Try to find the manufacturers recommendations on the products you ask about such as these:

I agree with Tom on the real fix but the it's becoming expensive. Minor leaking may be cured by these products.
A leaking head gasket also means water may go the other way and fill a cylinder or seep in and cause corrosion, rust, etc.
Unfortunately that usually means pulling the heads, new gaskets, even the need for machining or a new head.

No, I'm sure it isn't. It's just that, in my experience, those fixes tend to fail spectacularly at the most inconvenient time, when I'm as far away from home or civilization as possible, lol.

I thought it would last a few thousand miles until I decided on my new engine.....I thought wrong.
It's a quick/temporary fix only.
BTW, I had to replace my radiator and heater core as that crap sludged everything up.
