I was wondering what of the following liquid coolers would fit on my 1150 socket.
1. Corsair H55
2. Cooler Master Seidon 120M

Is there a difference between the 1150 sockets and the 1155??

No. They work fine with both. If it fits to 1155 it fits to 1150.

Then it comes down to is water cooling better than air cooler?
Maybe ,maybe not. Depends lot what you are looking for. Ase you looking better OC or silent working build?
Good air cooler givas you same performance what water cooler gives. So air cooler is more reliable.
Fan is easy to chance if it fails. Bu water pump is not so easy :) Water cooler gives better ram compatibility.
But there is air coolers that will enable high memory usage. IMO it is like this. Go with air or custom water loop.

Like this. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20926/ex-wat-266/XSPC_Raystorm_750_EX280_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321

This will allow u buy new pump or fix it. Or buy video card block or anything you want.
Hope this helps :)
