EK makes good kit. I wouldn't think that you should really need to look at a different vendor unless your looking for a different style of radiator.

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

The only benefit of using the Alphacool is that it is a cross flow, which can aid with a cleaner looking loop, i used the 360mm version otherwise I would have to run a tube all the way back across the case:
