Question about filtered intake

SP should almost always be on the bottom since there usually is not a lot of space (unless your case is on stilts). In my opinion the versatility of SP fans makes me recommend them pretty much all the time.

Ok, I'm going to be replacing some case fans. I know I should be getting some SP fans for front intake, especially since the HDD cage will have 2 drives, but what about the bottom intakes? The bottom intake has a filter, would an AF fan be enough? Or just go with more SP? If anyone recommends AF, what are some good AF fans worth looking into? Thanks for reading.

My case is placed on two concrete blocks leaving the bottom totally open. I'd say about 9 inches off the wooden floor. I'll look into more SP fans then. Thanks! :D
