Default About to purchase my water cooling kit

I was wondering if you guys can give me some last minute advice.
This is what I am buying.

Maze 3 Lucite top, brass fittings 1/2 Stainless steal mounting hardware.

Eheim 1250 pump with 3/8 to 1/2 adapter.

Now heres a questions would this heatercore

Be better than the black ice extreme? I think the first heatercore has bigger dimension, and I could make a shroud for it with some aluminum lying around.

And last I am purchasing some 10 feet of tygon 1/2id and 3/4od, would that be enough for a antec 1040 case? Are the dimensions of my tygon correct? Woudl I need any hose clamps?

Oh yea, I'm going to buy a T line too so that i could add some hose giong up to bleed the system and use it to fill it also.
I would skip the tee line if you guys could recommend me a good res that doesnt have any problems with build up of bubbles. I heard awful things about the dangerden clear res and bubbles.

Are all my hardware compatable? This is my first time biulding a watercooler, but i wil be precise and test it very stressfully before i install it in my system tho.

The whole thing would run me around 200 bucks from dangerden, if you guys could offer me a better deal that would be great.

Does anyone know of any watercooling business that would ship usps? I am not very fond of the ups guy around here, and school is about to start so i might not be around to pick up the stuff.

Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
