I'm into my second week now of trying to figure out(cutting through the hype) which components to get for my first WC endeavour. I'm almost ready to take the plunge except there's just one last thing that I can't seem to make my mind up on - FILL & BLEED OR RESERVOIR??? From what I gather the F&B requires little/no maintenance as it's a closed system - therefore no algae or other unpleasent substances which might accumulate over time. Is this true? What are the pros & cons of such a system? Does the cooling performance suffer compared to reservoir? Is it as easy/easier to set up/bleed? Simply put - WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
If it's a reservoir - which kind?
