i know the PETG tubing is way stronger, but it bend faster, and i think i read somewhere that during high temp it may cause issues,
so which one do you think is better, or doesnt Matter?

Acrylic is 'way stronger' than PETG in every metric other than impact strength.

but dat hammer test doe.. (trollface)

 

 

@op it won't really matter, either way it will work fine.  In terms of heat, if the water ever got hot enough to bend the tube, you'd probably be on the verge of killing your pump. (The water should never get this hot)

if the water was hot enough to warp the tube then i think you have a problem as you might need more radiator space or a better pump
