Water block cooling vs hybrid cooling

EVGA has a waterblock version of the GTX 980 ti (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-4999-KR) and hybrid version (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-1996-KR).

To my understanding the block actually cools all the components of the card while the hybrid only cools the main GPU chip. This can be helpful if you want to go for a water loop and such but I am more concerned with performance.

My question is, how would the performance be affected by these two methods? Any pros or cons I should consider from each?

The actual difference is that the hybrid cooler is an all-in-one cooler, so you plug it in and go.

The waterblock version, you need a full water loop system including a radiator, pump, reservoir, tubing, fiting, coolant. It's for someone who already has a water cooled loop including CPU and sometimes RAM, southbridge, etc, then you could add the GPU and have it cooled by the whole system.
