Favorite fan brands?

What are they?

Trying to decide on which 80mm fan to buy. But I don't know what brands use good quality parts.
 
Panasonic for general purpose use. They do well against restriction, pretty quiet (M and L, anyway), undervolt well, etc.
Papst if you want real quiet (save that they click louder than most) or a fan that is of extremely high build quality.
Enermax for your basic "I need a fan in this mount" situation.
NMB if you can find the quiet ones--for case, not CPU.
Aerocool for a good balance of performance, noise and looks.
Thermaltake when you want to be sure the others were worth it 🙂.

I have a TT fan kicking about, I'm going to install it into my friend's coming build if he doesnt supply some beer or something when I have to build it for him 😛
 
Well let me be more specific on what type of fan I'm looking for.

A fan that is 80mm, 2500RPM, which should provide near 30CFM. I'm gonna need 2 for case, one for cpu and one for PS. A brand that must do all those with the same type of fan.
 
No way!

I have a 54cfm 80mm Delta and that thing might as well be an jet engine with the sound it makes.

Panaflo M seems good, where can I get one.
