Default 9800pro cooling

hey, i have a 9800 pro on the way from the manufacturer. was looking at cooling options and saw 2 that really impressed me. the vga silencer i've heard lots of good things about. i noticed that there are a couple variations of them and was wondering which one worked the best, as you can imagine by the look of my cooling setup, noise is not a concern. was also wondering if both or neither or one or there other would be better for memory heatsinks. was looking at either tweakmonster one or the ocz copper ones. thanks for the help.
here's some hopefully helpful links.

I have the second one on the list and it works great. As for the ram sinks - I would get the copper ones. But the copper heat spreaders do as well and look tons better

Since this is a 9800 thread... What are the best (currently) performance drivers for the 9800PRO?

Im running the omegas right now. They bench like the ATIs, but the game play graphics are so much nicer for some reason.

I don't like the omega's. They tend to lower my benchmarks. I really like the DNA's. But they are REALYL picky about installing.
