Colleagues over belgian website Madshrimps made a nice comparsion of 17 120mm additional fans from many different manufacturers. They tested both performance and noise level, comparing it to official values. One would think, that something so small in the back of your pc case can not affect the temperature a lot, but the opposite is true - there were measured huge differences between fans in range of 15°C! Another interesting thing is that probably the most known brand, Coolermaster, finished as the worst option with highest temperature. Definitelly interesting reading, check it out.
If you are not into extreme silence but don’t want to go overboard either in the noise department the Acoustifan Ultra Quiet offers excellent performance, the Arctic Fan 12 with its integrated anti-vibration kit also delivers quite well at different voltages. If you want flashy lights Coolermaster’s LED silent will suite you perfectly although it’s overshadowed in *bling* by AC Ryan’s BlackFire4.
