My personal choice for fans (for both AF and SP) are NoiseBlocker Black Silent Pros. I find they're a good balance between noise, AF, SP, looks and price. 

 

You could also have a look at EK's Vardar fans, I've heard good things about them.

I'd recommend EKs Vardar fans as I've heard very good things about them for loops but the NZXT fans are really good, and for the same parts as new fans you could get fan grills and cover most of the fan, its an option

No nononono those fans are very loud and are not very highly rated among enthusiasts
