If you get Yate Loon's do not get them at xoxide.com. Get them only at Petra's Tech Shop. They buy them straight from Yate Loon from what I have heard around quite a bit.

I would recommend Noctuas though. I have one and I plan on replacing all of my other 120mm fans with more.

Yate Loons are a fabulous cheaper solution though; Antec TriCool Fans are also good atleast the ones in my Antec 300 are nice and quiet.

I use 3 of these in my P182 with an Ultra 4 channel fan controller

Unless the OP is planning on running a fan controller as well, those SHs are definitely not going to silent.

I run 800rpm L Slipstreams on my pc at home and even they aren't completely silent. If you're willing to put up with a little noise though, the 1200 Slipstreams offer a good cfm to noise ratio. The 800 rpm model is quiet but doesn't really move a ton of air if you have a big case.

Noctua NF-P12 hands down. They're a bit expensive though. I had planned on using all NF-P12 fans in my case, but recently dropped that idea after figuring how much that would cost. I can buy about 3 to 4 Yate Loon fans for the price of one Noctua fan.

What makes fans are the size, rpm and quality, forget what dB the manufactures state. If you want quiet/silence your looking at 1200rpm and below. I know the xilence fans run at 1400rpm, they are quiet, but not silent. 1000rpm is a good rpm for silence.

Go for:

Yate loons
Nexus

if your on a budget.
