Considering the material. If the copperblock works out fine for me, I'm going to make it out of silver I think. I've got a friend that is a silversmith 
But back to copper:
What copper should be the best to use. I mean, copper can be hard or soft depending on how it were manufacured.
I'm thinking:
Soft copper.... better contact with core
Hard copper: Easier to work with and I can make the base thinner.
Are there big differencies in the heatconductivity between copper and copper?? (If U know what I mean)
edit: Since this is my first watercooling I'm going to use a Sicce Nova. It was cheap. I'm building the watertank so that I can submerge a bigger pump later on though.

i dont think it would make much of a diff...but if u I would just get harder copper, mill it(or however u plan to do it), then anneal it. If u have a acetelen or oxyacetelene torch this is easy. Heat till it glows red hot then let it cool. The black stuff will flake off due to diff expansion rates and all the other black stuff can be flaked off with a knife. Now u have a layer of cupric oxide over the copper, just use a light hand and some sand paper(cupric oxide is very delicate) and basically just wipe it off.
