Default Best AC pump?

It seems lately everyone recommends the MCP650/muffled D4. But I dont want to put my pump or fans on my PSU, would actually be easier for me to go AC b/c of how Im going to set things up.

I want to run everything in series.

2 x fedco 2-215
2 x mcw6002s (havent really decided on the CPU blocks yet but this is my 1st choice)
Maze 4 NB block
Maze 4 GPU block (maybe the new 6800 block but I havent read enough on it)
and some HD coolers that I'll end up making but very low resistance (just a long copper block with two passes and wide channels).

Im going to put a lot of effort into really clean tubing with as few turns as possible.

Im guessing if I wanted a DC pump people would recommend dual MCP650s in parrallel, correct?

Is there a single AC pump that would give me enough head?? I guess I could get an Iwaki but those things seriously scare me =\ Maybe a eheim 1260?

edit---

actually someone just gave me the idea of using a 12vdc power brick to power my fans and Pumps off of. Would getting two MCP650s be a better idea then using a AC pump? It seems that AC pumps suck a lot of watts...
