Question What AIO should I get for my graphics card?

Hi there. I been struggling on picking an AIO for my graphics card. I bought my pc on OfferUp at the start of 2021. I also don't have the shroud for my GPU as it came with a different fan setup.
But any who, my gpu is a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 ti, with a NZXT Kraken G12 mount and a Corsair Hydro Series H55 120mm AIO. I'm wanting to upgrade to a 240 or even 360mm but have no idea what to get..

Currently where I stand is that the Thermalright AIOs are great for value and performance. I didn't even know about them until someone with a higher discord role in the PC Help Hub told me about them. But after some research on them, it seems beyond worth it to get, Thermalright doesn't pay for marketing clearly to have those type of cheap prices.

But I just now become worried that these aios haven't been in the market long enough to determine the longevity of them.

So my question is.
Do I take my chances to get a Thermalright AIO, like the Notte or Magic? Or do I spend around $100-$120 on a "branded" AIO?

Also btw, I love "air coolers" too, I'm also debating on whether I drop the idea of AIO and go air for my graphics card. The only problem is that what cooler should I get as I only have just barely 5 inches of clearance from my PSU and GPU.

And the reason why I even want to upgrade is because my gpu has been heating up badly.

What is the make/model of the rest of your parts?
It is unlikely that an aio for anything is your solution if you are concerned about longevity.
AIO coolers have a mechanical pump that will eventually fail or get clogged.
Air will intrude through the tubes.
Plan on about 5 years for an aio.
