Case/Fan upgrade

So it's my birthday pretty soon and I'm to upgrade my case (Probably a corsair carbide 300R) and I'm wondering what would be the better fan setup.

 

My initial thought was occupy every fan slot with Corsair AF140's. Then I thought what about Bitfenix Spectre Pro's and Noctua fans? So here comes my question. Assuming no budget, which fans are the better option and for Noctua, which ones are optimized for airflow, not static pressure?

A-14's. They work in all situations where a 140mm fits.

The NF-A14's are the airflow optimized ones?

They have solid static pressure too. Ignore the naming scheme for noctua as it is not that great. Too clarify the A-14 has great airflow static pressure and is relatively quiet at low rpm 500-1000.
