Certain case companies also make good fans, NZXT is one of them.

NZXT and Corsair both include good fans with their cases.

I'd say CM fans are also decent.

Stock fans are usually fine but die sooner. Higher quality fans will push more air with less noise and will last longer. Thats about it.

I don't know why, but newbies always focus way too much on fans. They think they need like 20 new ones because apparently the case doesn't come with any, lol. Stock ones are fine though, nothing wronng with them they work great
