Just a simple question with not such a simple answer.

I am using about 2 metres of braided PVC tubing, and i currently have a Danner Supreme 5 pump (500 GPH). I'm going to give this one to my friend, and purchase another pump for my setup, only...

i don't know if i should get one Danner Model 5 500GPH pump, or two Danner Model 2 250GPH pumps.

I have a DangerDen Maze2-2 waterblock, a BeCooling AquaCoil2 Radiator, and a DangerDen CoolingCube Radiator in the secondary loop that just cools and dumps water into the reservoir, and cools the chipset, and GPU waterblocks , and a HeaterCore in the main loop that cools the CPU.

I guess the 2 smaller pumps will provide lower noise, but will they yield a higher/lower net flow?

Which would you guys recommend?

Thanks!!
