For parts derusting I like glass bead, that is another name for "crushed glass". Very effective. As Howard has stated, you have to be very careful about body panels, sand and glass bead can work-peen a panel and there is very little you can do with it after that has happened. THe crushed walnut and plastic media are great for body stripping as they do not have the ability to work-peen the steel.
In the shop I worked in we pput dang near every part of the car through the glass bead cabinet at one time or another.
