There should not be a difference in performance. The nickel plating just keeps the block looking nice by preventing oxidation.
copper is the # 1choise for cooling but water on it no matter what it will corrode the copper in the long run just like a penny , so a nickel plating coat protect from that
technically full contact to cooper is better, but such small amount of nickel between can't do any noticeable difference
so paying 10 to 20 bucks extra for the nickel is save you future issues
