Best cooling brand?

I'll be looking to install a custom water cooling system in a few months from now. I have no experience in this area and I'm not sure who to seek out and who to avoid. If it matters, this will hopefully be the setup: Res>Pump>GPU>Rad>CPU>Rad>Res.

 

What are the better/best brands for cooling equipment?

Koolance or EK for CPU and GPU blocks. Alphacool for radiators. These are brands I would go with. :)

You must "Quote" to get my attention​.

As much as fittings are for looks, I would really go with bitspower fittings. I tried koolance and swiftech and I had so much trouble getting the tubing on and then getting the compression on by hand whereas with bitspower, it was super easy to shimmy on and to get the compression on by hand.
