Which type of front panel is best for airflow?

Hello, which type of front panel do you think works best for airflow? Doesn't need RGB, just good airflow. I've seen mesh panels, tempered glass and some flat fronts. I assume mesh panel works best since it doesn't obstruct airflow much but I'd like to know your opinions. I'd appreciate if you could explain your choice a bit, too. Thanks in advance.

Technically the best ones for airflow are mesh front panels. 

Why? Because like you said.

Best front panel is no front panel :p.

 

But mesh ones are by far the best ones.

Tempered glass and just drill a few holes in it, all you need is a drill press and a special glass drill bit, It's not hard.
