    Um, on is 3/8" and one is 1/2"...
    The 1/2" will have a better flow rate, but that isn't the be all and end all in WCing, it will depend on the other components in the system.

    Id say you do need a res if you will be running the system long term, its hell to top-up a system with out one, unless you have a fill/bleed pipe but thats the ugly option.
