Default what to look for when shopping for pumps

I'm planning on getting a watercooling and I'll be needing a pump offcourse.

Now I've noticed there are a lot of factor's that come into play like flowrate, pressure (how high they can yet water?), submerged or not, noise production, AC or DC, inlet, outlet, inner diameters, outer diameters and I don't know what else.

Most importantly, I need to know what factors play in getting a good overall flow because I've heard about 1000 l/h pumps outperforming 1200 l/h pumps because the 1000 l/h pump had more pressure.

So, if If you lot could share your knowlledge with me that would be great


PS: I'm from Belgium and we work with liters and cm instead of gallons and inches so if someone knows how they compare to eachother that would be great too

Thx in advance
