Choosing reservoir is basically just figuring out what you think looks best (and what fits in your case obviously).
The only real specs for pumps are flow rate and pressure. Generally you don't need a lot of either if you're just cooling a CPU and one or two GPUs.
Radiators are a bit more complicated as you have to consider length, width and FPI (fins per inch). As long as it fits in your case more length and width is better, but FPI is again a little more complicated. Higher FPI allows more heat dissipation, but generally this doesn't automatically result in lower temperatures as long as you have adequate cooling.
