air flow if theirs no restriction. It's better for moving air around in your case. Much more so then an sp static pressure fan. You want static pressure if you're pushing air through a radiator or a tight directed spot if theirs a bunch of stuff in the way go sp, but most likely not so for general case air flow.go af.

Is the fan going on the outside or inside of the case? Do you have a bunch of stuff infront of the fan slot area? Inside and no stuff in the way af. If its inside intaking air and theirs stuff in the way still say af. It generally displaces heat in a larger area as opposed to pushing faster air in a smaller area. Do you have it pointed at a graphics card? Then maybe if its intaking air go sp. Do you plan on exhausting the case through that hole if you are go sp.

fan size has to be 80mm. and its going to be insdie the case and there is space of 4-5 inch and there is a motherboard inside means when i will put my fan one -1.5 inch will be occupied than you can see how much space will be remained.

If you're looking for an 80mm fan i don't think you're gonna find any with "specific" led lights or brand names. I'd try to find a generic one at that size i don't think any big companies make custom fans like that. i stand corrected, maybe try to find some of these. Noctua NF-R8 80mm Fan but really at that size any 80mm fan will do.
