Pros of Liquid cooling?

Hey guys,

I have always ran air coolers in my builds, currently got a mammoth cooler master cooler, it cools my 4790k pretty well, but I am getting a bit bored of the size of the thing. When I dust out my PC every month or so and re-apply thermal paste every few months, it's just a HUGE pain in the *** of a job that I don't look forward to doing due to how big it is and how much of a struggle I have all the time getting it off and back on again.

So Liquid Coolers like the H110i and H105 etc. look like the more manageable way to go. My case has an unused radiator space with vents at the top and I am assuming that's where the fans screw in, and just plop the actual square thingy majig onto the cooler. Which should mean easier to pop off to replace thermal paste in the long run right?

So what are the cons, if any, to liquid coolers? Are they reliable? Long lasting? Risky? If any at all please let me know.

Also if you have the time, which one is best to grab from these 4 :-
