I'd go for the heatercores. The Black Ice are nice in that they are smaller, but don't offer any performance boosts, and I believe they constrict the flow more than the heatercores. And if you have an Autozone near you, they sell them for $17.99 (tell em PN# 399069 as most probably have no idea what your talking about if you say you want a heatercore). So I'd recommend the heatercore and a fan shroud or two, depending on how many fans your gonna run.
