i think bigben's radius would be a little little bit more effective
beautiful design anyways.

Very eye-catching indeed.
Spiraling may not be completely useless. If you look at the flow graphs for Radius, you'll see a fast flow at the bottom of the channel; in a spiraling design, this flow might rotate along the bottom of the channel.
If it does rotate, it will have to flow extremely fast in order for it to make a performance difference though. I don't believe that there's a pump out there that can do this (within reason). The channel flow must reach Reynolds 2'000 to 4'000 (turbulent flow), at which point the rotating effect might be dissipated...dunno.
