In short, as I've said before in this thread, use whichever fits your case the best. The performance difference between the H100 and H80 is almost nothing.

Mergatroid ... rescuing the integrity of this thread once again
I might also add for the average OC'er you will more than likely be able to run your H100 on the "Low" setting for your 24/7 overclocks, signifigantly reducing the fan noise factor ... I don't know if that would be the case with the H80? As Merg and many others have repeatedly said ... if your case will accept the H100 it is a "No-Brainer" over the H80

I don't think you'll find a single H100 owner in this thread that isn't running their H100 in an exhaust configuration, with the proper case ventilation setup. In my HAF922 I do have an additional high CFM 120mm front intake fan supplying plenty of cool/fresh air to the H100.
DO NOT even consider the SP "Quiet Edition" fans if you want your H100 performing as it should. Their low static pressure 1.29 mm/H2O vs 3.1 mm/H2O for the SP/HP's vs stock Fan Static Pressure. 1.6 - 7.7mm/H20 Doesn't measure up and the High Performance kit does come with voltage reducing adaptors for less RPM/noise operation ...
Check THIS out ... although he won't call out certain manufacturers directly, it looks like Noctua and others have been "Fudging" on their fan specs! Corsair's rep just grows n grows
If noise is a concern the Corsair SP120 "HP" does come with voltage step-down adapters for quieter operation!

Finally on a personal note, before you even invest $60 in a push/pull (4) SP120/HP's ... I'd try the stock H100 fans in an exhaust/push config ...
Granted your BE965 put's out more heat when overclocked than the comparable Intel chip (I use to have one) ... BUT you might be surprised as I was at the H100's stock performance/noise abilities

) to work in a HAF922 without major mods ... I also have my doubts w/regard to their "static pressure" performance ...
