I think you'd find that the current consensus is that "it depends on what you're doing". Not that 3/8 would ever outperform 1/2 but that it often makes no difference and there's an advantage with 3/8 in ease of routing and potentially in reducing case air restriction.
There had been a consensus on 1/2", but that was some while back (one of the reasons I tried swapping a couple of systems over from 3/8 to 1/2).

I'm not sure I'd pick 3/8 over 1/2 for cost reasons, though. How much tubing do you need for connecting pump rad block(s) and (optional) res? Two meters? Less?
