Andy, mineral spirits are my second choice (though
what I use at home due to cost) with stoddard being
the first.  I like using xylene (xylol) or toluene
(toluol) for wiping parts down prior to painting. 
Lacquer thinner contains to much acetone and flashes
off to fast to suit me, xylene is slower and allows me
to wash and then wipe the part before it drys off.  Be
sure to keep your cloths clean, especially the wiping
one.  No sense in just spreading the oils around. 
Just my preference.

Dave
