Speed, well, the same *flow* but not the same *velocity*. Any change in cross section area in the loop will give a proportional change in velocity. Second thought: *Not* proportional, since change in cross section area will give a change in total back pressure, wich also will give a change in velocity.
(sh*t, I´m confusing myself again)
Well, it wouldn´t make much difference where in the loop You put the pump. The velocity in the water inlet in the blocks would be pretty much the same.
Otherwise I go with Groth, hook it up the easiest way.
