I have a Antec "Sonata" case. Wanting to add a additional 120mm fan for more airflow. What is the best one to get for this?

For maximum airflow you want this.

For something that will get the job done with peace of mind get what jdogg said. I have two of them and they are quite nice.

Why buy a Sonata and then put a Delta in it? The Antec is pretty loud, along with the sound of a jet taking off in the Delta, hence the reason I like the Enermax, it's extremely quiet, puts out a good amount of air, and is adjustable to what level of noise/air flow you want.

Sounds like a plan. I think I will try the Enermax

If you don't go with the Enermax, you might also look at the SVC branded 120mm fan. I have it running in my machine. It's NOT silent but it's not that bad. Makes a nice hum...but if you don't like that, you might want to check out the Enermax. :D

I've been using a 120mm Enermax UC-12FAB-B (you can find it at Newegg...sorry...too lazy to link right now :) ). It's worked great so far for the past several months. Adjustable speed and super quiet (at leaset to me) even at fast speeds.

The quietest 12cm fan I have found is the Papst 4412 FGL. The Panaflo L1a and Vantec Stealth 12cm fans are also fairly quiet, but still not as quiet as the Papst.
