I am definetely going with one of the MCW6k series WB.
I will be using either the MCP600 (AquaXtreme) or the D4 (leaning towards D4)
I had my mind set on 1/2 ID tubing, though the truth is, that 3/8 tubing is becoming more and more appealing to me as it is easier to route and won't stress the block mounting as much.

What appeals to me is that the MCW6000 performs equal to, and at high flowrates even better than its 1/2 brother.

If I do go with 3/8 ID tubing I will continue to use 1/2 OD barbs for the Core (DtekPro) and will probably plumb larger diameter tubing between the T and the pump inlet.

My question is ( I actually just need peer reassurance ), would anybody here recommend this path?
I was so focused on getting 1/2 tubing that I am now having a hard time considering other options. lol

3/8 ID tubing over 1/2 OD barbing sounds good to me (and unrestrictive, too)

I am basing my question on Phaestus's proving that the MCW6002 wont outperform the MCW6000 in a setup similar to mine.

Recommendations are appreciated
