The S340 is known for having poor airflow, and the H500P Mesh has a mesh front.

The S340 has average airflow at best. The H500P Mesh has much better airflow. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3263-cooler-master-h500p-mesh-review-thermals-airflow-build-quality

Yes. You can see how temps are better with the H500P mesh compared to the S340 in the linked article.

Honestly, neither. In a few simple words poor airflow (S340) and cheap quality (CM H500P/M). Go for either a Meshify C or Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition as it looks similar to the CoolerMaster H500 while being better quality. Or you could wait ( Ithink it's this year where CoolerMaster will release the revised case.)

 

Really the best cases available right now are Meshify C & Phanteks Pro M for non mainstream builds that is. Which mainstream builds don't usually care for airflow (you're asking for good airflow), so then I suggest either the Meshify C or Phanteks Pro M.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market

Yea, that's pretty mainstream. If you're going to build later, plan later. What's best is usually based on prices which change often.
