It doesn't matter what one, they will both be adequate to cool your CPU (Max Turbo Power 117w)

 

Max Cooling capacity,

Artic freezer 34 = 210w

NH-U12S = 160w

 

It comes down to what the prices are in your country, but keep in mind the NH-U12S will be quieter and smaller

So if you only care about performance (Lowest Temp) Artic freezer will be your best and cheapest bet,

While the NH-U12S would be quieter and smaller
