Just make sure you have the connectors from your motherboard or power supply to power the fan. 

What you should get depends on what you're using it for.

Pretty much just for exhaust and intake. My current setup is the rear fans are intake, and cpu cooler blows towards the front, and front hard drive intake fans. So I need a bottom intake, top exhaust, and side panel exhaust.

I bought $9 Bitfenix Spectre all blacks and they're VERY quiet, now I realize I don't need a fan controller.

 

If you're buying from a good brand, noise won't be an issue. Just make sure they have proper airflow.

Arctic PWM CO's are good. http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_130&item_id=057693

Noctua NF-F12's are probably the best 120mm fans on the market currently. They have excellent air flow and are silent

I wouldn't consider them the best, but yes they are very nice and one of the top 10.
