Wall thickness
I'm going to order some ClearFlex from Mcmasters and wanted to know if 1/8" or 1/16" is better. What's the advantage of using one over the other?

thicker wall is less likely to kink at sharp turns in the tubing

1/8 is the norm

But thicker tubing can create torque on the waterblock, this is especially a problem for AMDs because of the small core size. Thicker tubes do let less water evaporate in the system though.

With a proper mounting (and a proper block... No RBX's here) the strain from 1/8" wall tubing will not be a great issue, especially since you are using Tygon.
