Go for the poly barbs. You could go for the clear top, with those.

Hmmmm in order for the battery effect to occur the water has to be the electrolyte which conducts current between the two......since the brass fittings would be screwed into the water block there would be no current for the water to carry as they are grounded out so to speak......

Which brings up something I have thought about for a while.....applying that same principal.......if you ground your radiator to your waterblock using a ground strap of some sort would that not once and for all eliminate the battery effect even to the point of using an aluminum radiator with a copper water block and not even having to use an anti corrosive additive? Thats a theory I will prove or disprove soon
