Feedback on following 350+ watt power supplies?

I have done tons of reading but have only managed to come up with a growing list of power supplies that may interest me. Was hoping I could get some feedback to narrow it down or even decide on one.

Antec SL350
Heroichi 350LDT-T
Enermax EG365P VE (FM)
ThermaltakeSilent PurePower 360 watt (non PFC)
Sparkle/Fortron FSP-350BN or BT

I imagine that all of those are good, though I think the Heroichi might be a little behind the others. The prices are basically identical so am looking for the best one that is also the quietest, wish they would list decibel readings, (don't think I am interested in the Antec True330 or the next model "sleeper" up for the Enermax.

Once I came up with the list I mistakenly decided to check out Directron and then found a bunch others that I haven't researched as well but here they are for completion sake.

Chieftec HPC-360102 DF 360 watt
Directron Silent TT-350SS
AMS Mercury PP-3501P4
Enermax EG365P VE (FC): the NewEgg user comments didn't make this sound any quieter than the (FM) and I'm not interested in the "sleeper" feature so who knows.
 
According to some sources, the 350w antec and heroichi are the same thing- I'd have confidence in either, along with the enermax and sparkle models you mention. I'd avoid the Tt on GP, and the rest because I really don't know anything about them. The enermax is relatively quiet and the Sparkle somewhat noisy, the other two, dunno...

If you really want quiet, reconsider the Tru Antec 330, or a 380, or hold out for the 400w Zalman that should be available soon. The 300w Zalman is among the quietest available and would likely power the vast majority of systems. Nice price at Nexfan, too...
