Goto the danger den, dtek, swiftech sites. Check out the links to reviews. Goto places like hardocp.com and check out there info, they have big reviews of tons of blocks. Check out there link sections.

There is a new Dtek block reviewed against a maze 3 from danger den at ipkonfig.com. Looks like both are within 1 degree of each other at a 20c room, they are both 29-30c. Dtek edging it out. I'd say those temps are damn near the same I get on my maze3-1 (same as the new maze 3). Also the dtek looks like they went for some new designs. Ribbed like a condom on the inside and has rings or heat pipe type things in the channels.

It seems like all the blocks are pretty close to eachother in the temp range for the high quality blocks. Probably look into the design you want.

Swiftech has easy upgrades for peltier addons.

Koolace seems like a real idiot proof solution, not the best performance.

I cant afford to add more blocks to my system yet. I'd like to get some blocks for the NB and Gpu. That would drop the fan noise alot.
