More questions from Evelon! This time: Watercooling!
So I'm planning on watercooling my graphics card sometime soon (the rest will come with time) because its current cooler is crazy loud. My card is a HIS ICEQ HD6950 2GB. The waterblock I've gotten (getting it piece by piece every few weeks) is a Heatkiller GPU-X³ 6870 ATI Radeon 6870. I hope I did that link correctly. Anyway, I need advice on the radiator I should get. I can't decide (or rather, don't know enough about to choose) between a single fan radiator, or a dual. Does it make much of a difference? I will be eventually joining my processor in the loop, but that's not much of a priority at the moment.

On the radiator side I would recommend this one http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8523/ex-rad-146/XSPC_RX360_Triple_120mm_Radiator_Rev_2.html from the reviews I've been reading. You may find it slightly cheaper by scouting around.
This site is full of resources for comparing various watercooling components

Excellent shootout here ...this is where I came to the XSPC 360 conclusion but most are rated very well:
