Actually, if you're watercooling for silence, the thinner one is preferable (you need less fan pressure, which means less fan noise). Don't expect great cooling though, erm, well, better than BlackIce Pro (same thickness but built for a single 120mm fan).
It's all a matter of what you're optimizing for...

Ugh. BS! The BIP is thinner than the BIX. Nothing is "built" for a single fan. It's a cheap, shoddy design. You'll get better performance out of a BIX II with a pair of silent fans than out of a BIP II with loud fans.
Actually their BIM is about right. 3W more at a 15C thing, but that's with a rough calculation.
