There is not too much difference between them for everyday use... - when you're pushing the CPU to it's limits, then matters more...

Basically, again for everyday use, you want something like the Arctic Cooling MX2... then you can go better with the Gelid Extreme, Prolimatech PK-1... or even higher with the liquid metal ones (Indigo Extreme Liquid Pro)... - these later ones are pretty messy though...

I've used arctic silver 5 untill so far which has always done me good.
Noctua NT-H1 is meant to be very good too but i've not got around to actually testing it yet.

Actually I did tried the NT-H1... it came with the Noctua cooler... - and yes, it's pretty OK even for some benching-level OC's too...
