I don't believe a lower flowrate can be better. Compare it to aircooling, do you think less CFM can be better? I don't think so...

I'm not sure, but I think I have a possibly explanation why people are thinging this. Most people are using submergible pumps in a resevoir. A slow pomp will output just 10-25 Watt of heat where a realy powerful pomp can produce as much as 100-150 Watt! So the extra heat of the pump does increase the temp of the coolant, not the higher flowrate. This shouldn't be a problem by inline pumps.

I heard that the eheim 1250 is a very good pump. I don't know exactly how much $$$ it costs, but I think aroud the 50 dollar.

btw: don't worry about the magnetic field thing, it's really not strong enough to make a difference.
