6 mistakes you're making when buying new case fans for your PC
Saving a few cents can cost you in the long run. Ideally you want the fans to last a few years, be silent, and work efficiently. Too many people just choose the cheapest for the size, and use that.
Some excellent practical advice in the linked article. These are a few of the key considerations you need to think about.
Don't get too hung up if your motherboard has too few fan hubs, as you can use fan header hubs to connect fans together. Just pair fans on a hub that you want to work together in a group, e.g. I paired my front fans on one hub, and the rear fans on a separate hub.
