14CM case fan recommendation

Hi everyone, I’m looking to replace the three case fans in my old Fractal Design Define R5 build. I'm looking for the best price-to-performance option. In my regional market, the most popular options are Arctic, Thermalright, and Phanteks (though I’m open to other cost-effective suggestions for sure). Here are the models I’m looking at, with prices converted to USD for 3-packs: Thermalright TL-C14C ($9.85) Phanteks M25-140 ($10.35) Arctic P14 ($24.2) Arctic P14 PWM PST ($24.64) Arctic P14 PWM PST White ($28.33) Arctic P14 Pro ($27.99) Arctic P14 Pro PST ($37.39) Arctic P14 Pro PST White ($39.15) Arctic P14 Pro PST CO ($35.99) Arctic P14 Max ($30.35) A few quick thoughts & questions: Thermalright: Initially caught my eyes because they're dirt cheap, you can even add a few bucks to get the ARGB one. However, my older motherboard lacks ARGB headers, workarounds or fallback solutions like an extra controller or hubs are needed in order to get ARGB working and things go more complex and messy. Phanteks M25: Not sure how these perform since they are not the most popular models, the T30, but should be better than the thermalright one. Arctic Variants: PST: As far as I know, this is just for daisy-chaining. If I plan to plug all three fans into individual motherboard headers, I don't really need PST right? CO: Uses DBB instead of FDB. Not sure if there are noticeable differences in noise or durability. Pro vs. Max: The Pro series actually seems to outperform the Max in airflow/pressure despite the Max having a 300RPM higher ceiling and naming as "Max". Overall, the Arctic Pro series looks like a solid bump in performance over the base P14 and Thermalright options, even if it costs a bit more. Would love to hear your recommendations on which of these (or even other alternatives) offers the best bang for the buck. Thanks!
