It's really going to depend on the cooling solution that you implement. More specifically, the flow rate is going to be critical.

If you're asking which would perform better, everyone will agree that copper does.

If you're asking how much better, then that depends on how you set it up. If you use a rio 180, then yes, there will be a great difference. If you use an Eheim 1250, you might see a few degrees. If you use an Iwaki, then you might see 1 deg C.
