what do you want to put into it?

NF-P12 are a good choice. if they are too loud you can still use the adapter.

The problem is I can't decide between p12 f12 and s12.

ok im giving you the specs:

p12: 1300 / 1100 / 900rpm , 92,3 / 78,5 / 63,4 m³/h , 19,8 / 16,9 / 12,6 dB , 1,68mmH2O

f12:  1500rpm , 93,4m³/h , 22,4dB , 2,61mmH2O

s12a:  1200rpm , 107,5m³/h , 17,8dB , 1,19mmH2O

 

the good thing about the p12 is the adapters. if you find it too noisy just use an adapter and it changes. same thing goes with temp problems.

So which would be best in my situation?

If set on Noctua, use the S12 in all exhausts and the P12 or F12 for intakes.
