IMO 4.5" (114mm) hole saws work better then the 127mm ones.

I'd rather have it too big than too small.

115mm is the standard size hole for 120mm fans. Personally 127mm would be way too big and not only look funny but also decrease the effectiveness of the fan as it will draw air through the gaps on the sides and keep recirculating it thus reducing the overall airflow rate.

If it becomes a problem I'll get some c tubing or seal up the edges.

I'm also thinking about forgoing the trouble of finding a holesaw that's just right and using a jigsaw or dremel.
