Probably the corsair at lower rpm, with the Kraken able to match when it sounds like a jet engine.

 

Ideally which ever is cheaper and has a better warranty, there's plenty of cooling in a 2x140mm rad.

I would probably say get whichever looks better. especially if you're using your own different fans since that is really going to be the deciding factor there... the h115i has 22 fpi and the X61 has 24 fpi so i guess the X61 technically has better cooling potential, but more fins equals more noise. Realistically they should perform quite similarly though.

I'd probably go the kraken 6 year warranty, and fits the gpu block if you want to later down the track.

 

Wonder what some other LTT peeps think, I can't really see a bloody difference.

Which ever you think looks better, performance is going to be within a degree or two at most. Corsair seems like a pretty popular choice, good software for monitoring and automating, house mate has the h100i and it's been flawless. NZXT seems to get a pretty good wrap too.
