Once you go 120x38mm high cfm you dont go back, thats how it was for me.
Why not go with Delta 220CFM fans then? Sure, it'd be like having a rock concert play inside your head, but you get the cooling.

Quiet fans can still be good, and are definitely more than enough for day-to-day use. Silent however, is a different story since you usually end up with <1 CFM/dba ratio.

Quiet usually means there is sound but it is non-intrusive.
Silent usually means that it isn't audible with the human ear.
