I'd say go with the 15mm barbs which 1/2" lines can streach over with ease.

One thing I didn't spec properly in my first post was my rad. I'm going to be making use of a fairly large heater core of a single pass design. It has a 3/4" inlet & a 5/8" outlet on it. The rad is 9 1/4" X 6 3/8" X 2" for it's finned area with a total length of 11". I"ll have 4 Delta 120mm fans @130cfm in push=>pull, two per side. All 4 of these fans will be hooked up to a reobus of course so I can turn them down to 7 volt for daily use.

Will you do some system flow testing as you set yours up? I'd be interested to see what your flow rates will be. While your rad is considerably more restrictive than mine, my CPU block is more restrictive (Cascade). I havn't purchased a GPU block yet as I'm waiting as long as possible for Cathar to bring his GPU to market. If it gets to the point that I've all else done I may go DIY or perhaps the same Swifty you have.
