So the cooler that came with the 2700 is fine 95% of the time, but under sustained load, it is pretty loud - It doesn't bother me, but when people complain that they can hear it over VOIP you know it must be bad!

Quite a few of the Coolers at around £30 seem to be out of stock but there are these:

My research suggests an eSports Duo is usually the go-to but this is OOS - not a fan of the weird colours anyway. But equally, all of the google searches for CPU coolers come back with different 'alternatives' but very few seem to agree! Is there a 'best' second-place one?

I will be upgrading the CPU next year to something a bit beefier so don't mind spending a bit more now for when that happens. Limited by a 162mm max height for the case.
 
Pity about the eSports duo. I have the old one, the 33, I couldn't get the dual fan one so I bought a single fan model and found it included the mountings for the second fan. Ordered a a fan and fitted it and it performs superbly.

However, if it was me and I couldn't get the eSports I'd probably buy in the order you've listed them starting with the Cryorig.
 
Out of what's currently in stock in OCUK this is your best bet:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £42.95 (includes shipping: £0.00)​
​

One of the best HSF's in its price point actually.

If you don't mind waiting until the 30th these are duck in stock:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £95.98 (includes shipping: £0.00)​
