Personally I chose none, if that input matters to you.
When it comes to AIOs, I'd say alot of people buy AIO's are people who don't want risks of leaks that ruin their system, but people who want performance of watercooling.
The current 360mm AIO's on the market are from kind of (in my opinion) non trusted brands. I would only trust Corsair, NZXT, Be Quiet! and perhaps Deepcool with my system.

I certainly wouldn't trust Thermaltake to replace my components should it leak, or Fractcal design. If it was me, i'd go for a 280MM corsair/NZXT/Be quiet so I can have that customer service should it leak. If I really wanted the performance of a 360, i'd just go custom.

tbh, a 360mm AIO is a bit unnecessary, but it's your build

to answer your question, yes, the Celsius is the expandable one.

However, imo, you'd be better off with something such as an NZXT Kraken X62, as it'll perform similarly and have better looks (imo), and a better warranty, but I'm not sure how good the Fractal Design one is.
