Oh - the 3/8 ID is a lot easier to route in the case (I'm using soft silicone thick-wall tubing to reduce pump vibration transmission - but it's bulky.) So 3/8 is higher performing in the sense that it blocks less airflow through the case - and a lot of "optimizing for low noise" is ensuring that your case have as little air restriction as possible.

Thats good to know.
So I was going to purchase from one of these 2 UK stores:
here
and
here.
So with my storm block, what do I need to make it compatible with 3/8? Also for the Thermochill PA160, what would I need then?
The links go to the barb pages so if you could tell me please
