I'm planning on an antec tricool, but if there are any quieter ones, I'd like to know.

The blue LED CoolerMaster R4 is a fairly good choice, but I'd probably go for the Tri-Cool.

I'll second the Cooler Master. Just have to find one that is low RPM as they make several models. I think the lowest is around 1200RPM. I find the Cooler Master to be quieter than the Antec at roughly similar speeds. It may or may not differ enough to matter.

The R4 is pretty good too.

I have the ENERMAX Apollish UCAP12-BL, and I think its a good fan.

blue LED Yate Loons, not quite as quiet as the regular slow versions, but run them between 7-9v and they'll be pretty much silent.
