Check out this link, it's got some pretty good info.
I've used the jockey box with a plate chiller before and found it worked pretty good. I can not remember however if the keg had been pre-chilled.
Cheers!

Generally if you're looking at a 1- or 2-tap box, a coil works better. You get better cooling. In that case I'd go with the 5/16" as you should get more surface area per amount of liquid going through.
When you move up to bigger boxes (i.e. a 6-tap jockey box), you're basically forced into a plate as there's not enough room for 6 separate coils.
