For the best overclocking you'd want to go with the water cooling, as far as i'm aware the difference between the Antec and the cooler master one won't be alot so i'd go with the cooler master one because it looks better to be honest.

I overclock my 5820K to 4.5G with a Hyper 212 EVO. The temperature of my CPU never went higher than 80℃. The CPU used around 150 watts at the highest peak. In my opinion, you really do not need to worry about the coolers and liquid ones seem to be unnecessary.

For water cooling solutions its hard (if not impossible) to beat the H100 and H100i. But before you go and slap an aftermarket cooler of any kind on a Skylake CPU Google Skylake CPUs damaged by aftermarket coolers. Intel went cheap on their build quality with Skylake and after market coolers are putting too much "pressure" stress on them at times crushing the processor or cracking the motherboard. You may want to hold off until Intel either does something about it or more information on which aftermarket coolers can't be used is available.

Jumping the gun here. The only manufacturer in trouble is Scythe and the fixes are on the way. And the problem only happens when moving the computer around, not when it is sitting still.

The simple fact they are having trouble at all is because Intel cheaped out on the processor build. Not enough time has passed to see all the implications and problems this may cause, or to see of other after market coolers are proven safe or not. One has to be very careful mounting any after market cooler as the processor is much more fragile than previous generations.
