The NZXT Kraken X61. Because it has a larger radiator than the H100i. So this means more surface area for dissipating heat. Basically, it performs better.

i've JUST realised you can't get the kraken on amazon but you can get the h100i, so would you say the corsair is MUCH worse or will it be totally fine? (amazon is alot more convenient as im buying most of my pc there)

It's not that much worse, I don't remember exact numbers, but Linus reviewed the Kraken X61, and the H100i was only about ~3 degrees higher in temperatures. So you'll be fine.
