How do I choose between these 4 cases?

I’m trying to finish up the planning of my first build but I can’t decide my main priority for this being my first time gaming pc build is space inside both the main area and cable management. A good number of stock fans with it as well as airflow too of course, and these are what I narrowed it down to:

 

Lian Li Lancool II

Phanteks P400A

Fractal Design Meshify-C 

Corsair 275R Airflow

 

Do any of you have any experience with these cases and can recommend one over the others, any help/opinions ate appreciated, thanks!

I honestly believe these are all good cases and you can't go wrong with any of them. So the biggest deciding factor for you should be looks/aesthetics.

 

My current build is in a Fractal Design Meshify-C, and I can really only say good things about it. Quality is excellent, cable management was a breeze, I love the minimalist design. The tinted windows looks awesome since you can only see your RGB through it. If I were to knock anything on the case it would be the way the tempered glass side panel is mounted. It simply uses four screws (one in each corner) instead of a hinge or latch mechanism for one side that a lot of other cases use. It makes taking it on/off a little awkward as you are juggling the crews and supporting the glass, but really once you finish building it you take it off so infrequently it doesn't bother me at all. It came with two case fans (both super quiet but I replaced them anyway). So I can easily recommend the Fractal but I dont have experience with the others.

Compared to the Corsair 275R airflow, is it overall better?

I run the P400TG and the P400S. I can honestly say the P400A fixes the biggest issue with the case which was airflow. The build quality is solid, the cable management is good, the case can handle up to EATX builds. The only thing lacking is the inability to put a radiator at the top of the case. It will hit the motherboard. But outside of that I love it.

So far we dont have data on either case saying which is better airflow. From looking at both panels, I'd say they'd be close enough to where most owners of either wouldn't notice much of a difference unless you were constantly monitoring temps and very specific on getting the lowest temps possible
