Going to start a re-build when my Bitfenix Shinobi xl arrives later today, I have 3 rads here Black Ice GTS 240, EK Coolstream XT 240 and XSPC RS 240
Will only be cooling CPU for now but would like to know which do you think would be best choice.
FPI is 25 on black ice, 11 on EK XT 240 and 15 on RS 240

black ice is thinest, XSPC RS 240 in middle and EK XT is thickest.
 
Looking at the thicknesses, and the FPI's I would personally go for the EK one as its thickness and low FPI means it should be able to achieve the same heat dissipation as the others at reduced fan speed. Note though that im basing that personal preference on noise.
 
Thanks,Noise not a problem for me.
Another question just sprung to mind Push/Pull fans or just pulling or just pushing
