I have the H440 case from NZXT, because of the limited airflow and space on the front and top panels, should I go with Pressure Optimized fans or Air Flow for my intake and exhaust fans?

I would recomend something in between, a good priced item being the silverstone AP 122 for 9 USD on frozencpu.com or 10 from newegg

Pressure optimized, for sure. Even going pressure optimized on the fairly fine dust filter on my case makes a noticeable difference to air flow

I would go with a fan that's better for static pressure (something like the NF-F12 or its IndustrialPPC counterpart).
