Are there any finishes that need to be avoided when finishing a mantel (due to the higher heat)?

The mantel of a fireplace should never get hot enough to affect any finish. If it does, there's a serious design flaw in the firebox/lintel height.
Anyway, finishes vary in flammability in liquid form, but not when cured.
