I would think it would be the other way around...
the less restrictive i think would be better..
if the more resistance was better...
then i would kink all my hoses untill i had almost no flow... max resistance...

So my question is how do these ratings compare to that of a heatercore? Everyone says heatercores are better, but I've never seen actual comparisons between the two.
well I went for BIX rev2 and BIXmicro2 knowing full well that they wern't as eficient as a heater core.
the only reason i went with that instead is due to size...
i was unable to find a heatercore that would fit that size.
complete listing of heatercores listed here

if in this list you can find one that meets your requirements go with that instead.
I have a mini tower, 15" tall and in it i have the 2 above listed heatercores as well as 2x120mm fans in a push pull effect on the BIX and 4x80mm fans on the BIXmicro2 and add 2x1" for the shrowds for each BIX, leaves almost no space. but i got it all to fit
but if it wasn't for the size I would have gone with a heatercore. which is what i'm am planning to do with my server(Full height case).
