As pumps will get smaller, no doubt following the recent trend (Laing DDC), one would avoid pressure losses from tubing, possible cavitation and the use of a reservoir and the pump would work as efficiently as it could.
What are your opinions on this?

I think that full integration of all components works well if and only if you have a cassis designed with an integrated module in mind. The new G-5 best demonstrates this concept.
I think that the PC liquid cooling market will integrate some components but the major driving factor in design will be plug and play items based on standard cassis configurations and geared toward modders and high-end PC manufacturers. Because there are many styles of cassis, I think it would be almost impossible to build an integrated high performance module around ATX or BTX standard (I use that term very loosely).
