For overclocking an Intel Core i5-4670K to 4.0 GHz, should I use the:
Corsair H50:

They cool about the same....the H50 is just noisier doing it. Self contained liquid coolers do not cool any better than air coolers.

Corsair H100 w/ 2 stock fans and no special paste - 52.5
Phanteks w/ 2 stock fans and no special paste - 51.0 C
Corsair H50 w/ stock fan 64.5C
Coolermaster 212+ - 65.75C

The 4670k hits 3.8 Ghz at stock speeds..... 4.0 Ghz is cake.

If 4.0ghz is your goal the EVO is by far the best choice of the 2 you've chosen.

I have used water cooling and air cooling key differences I have noticed are: Case Air Flow, Push Pull, and Mobo. I do not know why but I have OC'd a Cpu on some mobos with water cooling and air cooling and the temp just does not come down to my liking while on others it drops significantly. Case flow is another factor to consider
