The S12 is the quietest of the three but which is most suitable depends on where it's being used.

Personally i don't like the S12, no air pressure which is necesary almost always. The P12s have an outstanding noise profile, but if you're using them for rad/cooler/restricted intake i would go with an NF-F12

The S12 may have lower static pressure but it's far from none.

Get the NF-F12 then use the low noise adapter and/or under-volt it to your desired sound level. That way you'll get optimal balance of pressure/air flow and noise.

An NF-S12A would perform better while being quieter for an unrestricted exhaust.
