Skip the reservoir, while it makes it a little tougher to initially bleed the the loop, it will be a quieter system with one less component that can fail.

If budget will allow, I prefer the Laing D5 pumps, (swiftech mcp655), silent, powerful and last a long time.

The Apogee GT is a solid performing block at a decent price.

A 240mm radiator will allow you to run both fans on low and keep the system silent.

I switched over to the 7/16 Masterkleer tubing on my last rebuild, it was night and day from the 1/2" tygon I was running before. Routing was simpler, it did not put any extra pressure on my blocks and cleaned up my rig quite a bit.
