Need some fan suggestions for an H105 Rad

I've been looking around for some 120mm fans to set up on my h105 in push/pull and while I have a general idea of what is superior in the selection of fans but I'm still not sure what I want or what would really be the *best* performance wise.

 

It's definitely got to be static pressure for the rad, and as a side note, I'd really like to have two of the fans to have icy blue LED's for my case's color theme of black and lighter blue, though a more darker blue is acceptable as well. Sound is also NOT an issue, so if it's particularly loud I'm not too worried, but being quiet while maintaining great temps is never bad either. This'll be in an air 240 case as well if you're wondering.

 

Any suggestions? Noctua? Corsair? Cooler master perhaps? I've heard that even the high performance SP Corsair fans are meh but the numbers on paper seem great??

 

As another question on fans that I may as well ask, what are the best 120mm/80mm fans for airflow?

Gentle Typhoon > Everything. Other than that, phanteks makes really nice fans, bitfenix spectre pro's are decent.

80mm AF fans that you salvage from an airhockey table. Also, microwaves have pretty high CFM fans in them, but both of these options are not recommended for non-headphone users

I keep hearing about those fans but it seems like they're a tad bit hard to find.

Good lord, I'm envious. So far the most tempting fan for me is a black Noctua for SP.

Which exact Noctua fan, in black, would you recommend for rad push/pull? I'll probably mount them as pull and have LED fans as push so it lights up blue in the front of my case, unless you think a different set up for the sake of performance is in order.

Yeah they are hard to find. You could always use Noise Blocker eLoop fans. They are amazing fans, and haven't failed me yet.
