Default please recommend some quiet but good fans

I 'm looking to replace some fans in my case and would like some recommendations on some quite but efficient fans . I need 2 120mm and 3 80mm. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

For 120mm fans go with the Antec LED Tri-cool. They're expensive, $20, but have 3 settings and is still quiet(compared to other fans) when on the highest setting. Antec also makes an 80mm version but I've had no experience with those, they're cheaper(obviously) at $10.

For 80mm, go Sunon or Panaflo/Panasonic ball bearing. Quiet and longlasting.
