Dont think you will go far wrong if you went the Pro Alloy route

dont think there is a huge difference across the range for temperatures or flow rates although i believe the pro alloy item did slightly win.

but when the pro alloy cooler has a much better build quality, and looks 100 times better, added to the fact that it did pipped the others with the temps/flows etc and for the same-ish money it seems the best bet to me!
