Whats the best type of hose clips for water cooling? those metal ones that require a screwdriver to screw or the plastic ones that you push together, My self i would have thought the metal ones as i can see the plastic ones becoming weak and not gripping well after time, also i would have thought the metal ones are easier to remove, but the plastic ones look better and less bulky.

Any advice much appreciated...:)
 
I had some plastic clips on my rad and it leaked all over my desk and onto the floor. Get metal ones; they're much more reliable and give a better seal.

Also think about getting 7/16'' tubing and 1/2'' barbs; loosen the ends of the tubing a bit with boiling water and slip 'em over; gives a nice tight fit and you might not even feel the need to use clips.
 
I use these :
