The Fuma is the better of the coolers, runs extremely quiet almost Noctua quiet and rightt at the NH-D15s levels. The Cryorig has a superior mounting system, again comparable to Noctua, the mugen 5 being almost identical to the H5 in performance, is shorter on the heatpipes, so can have ram issues with really tall heatsinks.

Most of the issues with the Scythe coolers is supply, as soon as they come in stock, they are gone, an issue with early cryorig releases, so while the H5 is slightly behind the Fuma, it's probably far easier to get ahold of.

Both Scythes are on Amazon right now, at 47 and 48 USD, and the H5 is 47 USD too!!! so they are the same price, that is why I can't decide >.<

What about support/guarantee and material quality?
 
Man I have been looking to a lot of reviews / temp comparasion and I see a lot of different things! Some say Fuma is almost as good as the Noctua D15, while others say it have the same perfomance than the Cryorig H7 (that should be inferior to the H5) and less perfomance than the Mugen 5.

I will get it anyway, it may be something like the silicon lottery on processors
 
There's the original Fuma, which was decent, but not that much better than the H7. Now there's the Rev.b which is much better and trades blows with the Noctua NH-D15S (single fan). Not quite as good as a full NH-D15.

The Mugen 5 Rev.b is slightly better at stock levels, but when faced with OC type levels, the Fuma pulls ahead and still didn't max out the fans. For a couple of 120mm fans vrs the considerably larger dual 140mm on the NH-D15, the Fuma pulling what it does at the noise it does (almost dead silent unless maxed) is one seriously impressive accomplishment. If Scythe made a 140mm version, King D15 would loose its throne.
