Going get these fans but not sure which to go for.
Define r4 is my case
What i need:
-2 front intake fans with a hdd cage blocking them
-H100i gtx in push config
-1 bottom intake fan with dust filter and grille below it
-1 rear intake *edit: exhaust* fan with grille covering it.

Question is which fans do i need for each place. Would like each place named please.
 
Solution
Where is the H1001 mounted?

2 x 120SPs are best as intake at the front where the hdd cages block, one AF120 at the rear as an exhaust.

If the radiator goes on the front, then it needs SP120s and to be configured as intake. (so pull)
SP120 is optimized for Static Pressure, AF120 is optimized for AirFlow. You'll want SP120 on the radiator, probably AF120s everywhere else, though if there's a LOT of other stuff interfering with airflow you could pick SP120s instead.

Also, why a rear intake? Exhaust usually works better.
