Nearly all fans are good these days though ballbearing ones do tend to last longer than sleeve bearing ones but a lot will depend on ya case design plus the amount of noise you can put up with. I use UNEEC clone cases (Antec,Chieftec, Enermax, etc,...), for the most part 34cfm ballbearing fans do me very well and are quiet enough for me plus my systems are all overclocked. You maybe like some others though who like a bit of noise and use high speed high cfm fans (exceeding 75cfm) such as SMART FAN II's or Tornadoes but then there are those middle of the pack 50cfm Sunons as well.
