Also, going with some kind of epoxy on all the threads of the fittings would also be a great thing.

I will be using clear hose to connect the copper pipe to connections on all the parts so all you have to do is undo the hose clamp and pull the pipe loose. Will be just as easy as tubing.

The best type of resevior hooks directly to the pump inlet with the max diameter fitting allowed for the pump. There is less cavitation with this type of setup because there is less restriction on the pump inlet. solid copper waterblocks are great for saftey, but you sacrafice the ability to take it apart and clean it periodically. 2 copper halves with a properly machined o-ring is your best bet. The less plexi in the system the better, especially when using extreme mounting pressures or any drag from the lines.

1st no res is better. Just a waste of space and a needless restriction. Don't need it, get rid of it. Second the O-ring copper blocks is what I am making. Thats what i ment by all copper, didn't say "solid" copper. Here is my CPU and GPU blocks.
North bridge block will be similar.
