DDC/MCP350 (10w), hands down. It's quieter than the D5, and is more powerful. Smaller as well.

the DDC isn't actualy better than the d5.
but when you put a modded top onto it. like petras's http://www.petrastechshop.com/peddcudeddcp.html
then its better. but w/o it, i think the d5 wins.

Somewhat true; the DDC has low flow rates, but higher head that the D5 stock I believe. The restricted inlet is the DDC's downfall.

it mods the inlet/outlet so the pump has less restriction. as a result, better results. but keep in mind. the ddc+ pump is what everyone is getting these days. only problem is its 20 bucks more than a d5 with the modded top. and since i got my d5 used. i got it for 45 bucks less. well worth it.

Well, first of all, it changes the inlet to perpendicular to the outlet.
Stock, the DDC has the inlet and outlet parallel, Not much unlike --. With the inlet being... the "--". The modded top changes it to an L shape instead, thus giving the pump a dramatic increase in flow rates. The modded tops also change the pump from 3/8" to 1/2".

Very good information Solid, considering the fact that Im going all 1/2" tubing !!!
Didnt even think about that.
Thanks everyone !
BTW, since we are already on the subject on quiet. What 120mm fans would you guys recomend here ?
I dont have a fan controller, would that be a good thing to look into ?
Thanks

For a fan controller, definitely a Sunbeam Rheobus. For fans, I'd probably get a pair of Sanyo Denkis (The push ~102CFM @ 42dBA I believe) and run them on the rheo at a little under 7v for normal running. Panaflo FBA12G12M is also a good fan (86.5CFM @ 39dBA I believe). On a rheo, it'd probably be fairly quiet at ~8v I'd assume.
For silence, you can't beat the Yate Loons. I don't know the specific model.

So, I guess Ill pick up some loons and undervolt eh ?
Thanks
Try those Denkis at 7v. They still push quite a bit of air.
I love my Yate Loon D12SM-12!! quite, push some air and were cost efficent.. 70CFM at 33dBA, I have 4 of them running at full speed, its not silent but I think its very quiet. Heck my PS fan and video card make the most noise in my machine right now..

My PSU makes more noise than my Denki's at 12v against my radiator
