The way I understand it is that the 16x doesn't give you a benefit for mining. It increases the data bandwidth to and from the card, not the calculations done by the card. So I guess the reason why you would use a 16x instead of a 1x wouldn't be for mining.
I think for running video games on a mining rig, a 16x should theoretically give you a better gameplay experience depending on how the video card leveraged the GPU bandwidth. But if you are strictly talking about mining, then the 1x would be ideal.
When purchasing Risers, I try and look for two things. 1) A Black cable on the Molex adapter. 2) A Capacitor. These two things are a little harder to find, but I like the added insurance policy on protecting my motherboard and cards.
#Edit: Please change the topic to "Riser" instead of Riber...
