Which PSU for 24/7 server?

I am building a server with a lot of HDD"s, 12 in total, plus a few SSD's.  I ended up getting two PSU's I caught on sale.  Not sure which one is better for my needs.

 

Rosewill Capstone 650M (new version - black/red box)

-OR-

EVGA 650GQ

 

Both are brand new, and I am most concerned with low wattage efficiency as this server won't be heavily used 99% of the time, but overall quality for a long life is also important.  Any suggestions as to which to keep and why?

I'd probably say GQ, but ultimately both are fine, you won't have issues with either.

Just some bapo nerd from 'Straya
