The difference is, a U Tube with the proper flow (~ 200 GPH+) will not accumulate air. A C Channel unlike a U Tube, is wide and flat. It will always accumulate air. Less flow though it usually is better, but in the end it still does. That is the reason they require an external pump to remove the air accumulation, and why it is a less than reliable design.
