Yes copper thermal conductivity is best for what I am building.In the past 2 year been running same setup over my frag system but kept the heat sinks running 24/7 without having any corrosion issues and keeping in mind the arrays will be about 2feet over the water line...
I guess I will have to play around with it and see but like above from past experience the only maintenance I had to do is take the the heatsinks down 2wice a year and blow the dust buildup.

A question for all as I cannot remember (my memory is not serving me well these days.lol.)
Does a higher gauge wires than required from the LEDs to the drivers is any issues?
