With the TDX I believe you would be better off with the D5 for a pump (DD has a combo price of the TDX and D5 for $109), or if you want to keep the 1048 I would suggest getting the Swifty block.
The D5 is much quieter than the older D4 which has a whine to it, so noise shouldnt be an issue with it unless you are looking for complete silence.

The TDX is much more flow dependant than the MCW6k block is why I would suggest the D5 with the TDX and the MCW if you would like to keep the AC pump. I like the idea of running my pump of my PS and not having to mess with the AC power in my setup.

None of the setups mentioned is bad and all would perform within aprox 2° of each other, its just I feel the TDX isnt a good match for a pump like the 1048.
