You are mixing terms. Or. more specifically, using the terms as a surrogates
for other things.
Distilled water is deionized. That does not mean it is the same in every
respects as deionized water made by another method. You can deionize (more
specifically demineralize) water by a number of processes including reverse
osmosis, electrolysis and distillation. Distilled water has no ions in it. It
is as non-conductive as deionized water made by any other means. It contains no
mineral ions, I.e. it is deionized. I'm not making this up.
All distilled water is deionized. Not all deionized water is distilled. Do you
see the logic here?
As to whether one method yields water that is more "corrosive" than another,
call me highly skeptical but willing to learn.

Sorry, but that is not true. I too used to think of distilled water as
being neutral, but, "pure, distilled water is highly corrosive and will
suck up metallic ions like mad.
Water is one of the best mediums for heat transfer, however, tap water
would work well in a SS amp with the heat sink/spreader at chassis
ground potential. Tap water would not wok in a tupe amp where it has to
cool the anode of a tube at a high potential.
I worked with this stuff (DI & Distilled) for close to 20 years.
