Hmmm, "better" is an extremely debatable point.
The issue we're fighting here is matching off performance for pump heat. The 50PX-Z is an extremely nice match of pump power vs current draw vs heat (extrapolating from the MCP600/AQX-50Z).
Going to a stronger pump would start to tip the scales away from being a good match with single and dual radiators, and then starting to require triple or even quadruple radiators to adequately compensate for the extra pump heat.
Most every single block on the market will see very diminished returns for pumps stronger than the 50PX-Z, meaning that CPU temps will just tend to plateau even though a stronger pump gets thrown at the problem.
Strong pumps like an RD-30 really only start to make good sense with quad-fan radiators unless a particular block still has a lot to benefit, in which case maybe a triple radiator.
For a one-size-fits-most the pump specs I outlined, or as provided by a 50PX-Z, would be very hard to beat.
