Ben: Not sure about the whole "try to get high flow through block and low flow through rad" thing. Better procedure to either design block to increase velocity at that point in the loop or get a bigger rad (with low resistance).

Bigger pumps don't always help; this is known. But a higher flow rate will always improve temps provided the radiator's performance doesn't suffer (and can deal with extra heat of pumps).
Agreed.

If I was going to use 2 pumps with a double res, I'd probably end up with loop 1 having a small pump, a small rad, and I'd throw in a NB or GPU block, to slow the flow a bit, and loop 2 would be CPU only.
