Should I buy static pressure or air flow?

AF. You want to move a large amount of air, rather than blowing air at high pressure out the back of your case.

Hello.

So I want to add a rear exhaust fan to my PC. I'm not sure if I should buy an SP120 or AF120. I have a pretty big cooler and the PC is about 6 inches (15 cm) from the wall.

Thanks in advance.

Intake is pressure-optimized, exhaust is airflow with no care for pressure (try to go low-volume though ~25 DB or less, preferrably 20 or less).
