In Spain, 'ser un cielo' is often used interchangeably with 'ser un ángel'. Both are very common in Madrid and Andalusia. Mexicans often use the diminutive 'angelito' to sound more affectionate, especially when talking about children or the deceased. In Argentina, while 'un ángel' is used, 'ser un sol' is extremely high frequency for the same context of kindness. The concept of the 'Ángel de la Guarda' is very strong. You might hear people say someone is their 'ángel de la guarda' if they consistently protect or help them.
