How do they compare performance wise ? Noise level wise ?

I believe Noctuas will be quieter.

"Sulit" (adj.) something that is worth it

Only time i've ever heard my noctuas are when theyre hitting 1000rpm. Under that they are super quiet and push a lot of air.

Noctuas are pretty good in terms of noise and performance, and their price does reflect this. Even so, if it's a case fan, I'd still personally try keeping the RPM as low as possible through a fan controller or resistor.

NF-F12's can get much quieter. At higher rpm where they're no longer quiet, ML120's aren't that far in noise/performance.

Which one would you recommend for a Radiator fan ?

NF-F12's are excellent and hard to go wrong with. If the cost isn't an issue, go with them.
