I really want to mount it on the front with the hose pouring down and wanted to see if anybody has one in that configuration with the Corsair 5000d case? If not I'll just mount it on top

I like AIOs (I'm running one and a custom loop in another), but they can fail and you won't know it until either there's a leak and you short your system or something dies and you overheat and shut down.
All AIOs will eventually fail (the pump mainly)...so maybe 5 years average before you have to start worrying. Your Phantom Spirit will never die, if the fan gives out, put a new one on.
Performance will be the same for both, but the AIO will be quieter (that's why i went with liquid cooling, I can't stand fan noise).
My systems are whisper quiet, no ramp up, no crazy fan speeds ever needed. That's not going to be the case for most using air cooling.
