HDD cooling

I am going to use an Antec 1200 for a high density 12 disk array.

I either plan to use these http://www.sigwell.com/Store/tabid/59/CategoryID/14/List/0/Level/1/ProductID/85/Default.aspx

Or the standard Antec drive cages:

I am worried about power use, heat, vibration. The SNT-125 hotswap bay has a small fan which will increase power use, and per the above pictures, does not appear to offer excellent cooling (<1mm airspace around the HDD in the tray).

The Antec bays on the other hand cause all three HDDs to vibrate against each other, but may offer better cooling, with three fairly efficient 120mm fans.

What do you guys suggest?
