I have to say I really like G.I.Amour's set up. Were it me I'd turn his pump & res around and go pump=>rad=>CPU=>res/pump.
This would give the much shorter lines of G.I.'s set up and the slightly cooler water of going rad to CPU.

The major savings on line length is the thing here. Will for sure help your flow by keeping them so short. Put a second barb in the top of the res and run it up to the top and your set with a good fill point, and this will be a easy system to fill.

And just for the sake of looks you could make the res out of 3/8" clear plexi. Add a bit of dye of the color of your choice and a UV light and it should look real sharp. And a second plus is it will have a differant look than what those who use all made up comercial parts have (although Innovatek offers a very tiny res that hooks up like this).

Lot's of diffeant ways to set up. You have seen that from differant guys input. In the end do what's best for you.

edit: Line size isn't much of a issue as all the ones you're looking at are large enough.
