Very quickly, I need to know something about tubing. First, about it's rated minimum bend radius. Is it better for this to be larger or smaller? I am confused about this.

The smaller the minimum bend radius on the tubing spec, the more you can bend without kinking. A higher bend radius is because it will kink more easily at tighter radius.

Sweet, thanks! I was debating between tygon 2075 and 2275 tubing, but 2075 has the better kink resistance then! Just ordered 12ft of it. darn expensive though :(
