What brand/type of fittings to get?

It's been a while since I've been in the LC section, but this time I'm buying parts  

System I'm cooling is my signature build. Only cooling the i5 and 6950. Budget ~ $350

LC Parts:
6950 Block - EK Full Cover Block + Backplate (purchased, $93)
CPU Block - Apogee XT Rev 2 or EK Supreme HF ($71 new)
Rad - HWLabs Black Ice Xtreme III (purchased, $50)
Fans - 3x Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000RPM (purchased, $35)
Pump/Res - XSPC X20 750 ($50 new)
Tubing - Primochill, White, 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD ($1.80/ft, 10 ft.?)

Total (less fittings) - $316.90


I need help with determining what fittings to get. I need 10 G1/4 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD fittings.
Are there any fittings that have been proven to be better than others (i.e. barbs vs. compression, plastic vs. metal, etc.)?

I was looking at getting the EK High Flow fittings (I know it says OD but the description says ID) and Primochill Clamps for $2.20/ea and $0.79/ea, respectively.

However, there are XSPC compression fittings that are only $1/ea more than the barbs. If they're good, is it worth it?

I also found these Koolance Quick Disconnect fittings, but they're too pricey to get 10 pairs of them. However, is there anywhere that these might be useful (i.e. for easy draining/maintenance)? I could afford to do like 2 - 4 pairs, so 1 or 2 components.

I am willing to accept any other advice! Thanks!
