I would go PC-DL if I had to do it again.

I too wish I would have gone with the PC-DL, still thinking of swapping to it.

I can't say about the pch-dl but it is supposed to overclock similar to the pc-dl I believe.

I'm definately happier with my PC-DL than my NCCH-DL (max fsb stable on the pc-dl is 248 while the best the ncch-DL could manage was 185).
