The fittings on your list are pretty ugly in real life.
The Alphacool fittings look way better and the don't cost much more then the ugly ones.

For example (btw. bad photo, they look better) :

thanks bud they do look a lot nicer, are compression fittings more "secure" than barbs? also what size tubing would work with these fittings?

TTL and alot of people in here and myself, recommend and use 1/2 barbs with 7/16 tubing. As others have said when i was conducting my part picking aswell, those barbs and size of tubing is tight, VERY tight!

EDIT: Imho using barbs or comp fittings are completely self preference as there can be many factors associated with them; price, looks(suit the style and colour scheme of build), etc.
