There isn't an exact value of static pressure that is defined as the starting point for "high static pressure". You're just looking for fans that are in the higher range of what you're able to buy. Even if you can't find manufacturer specifications that give static pressure, you can usually tell what a fan is designed for (more airflow or higher pressure) by looking at the fan's design. Larger fan blades with a higher rake will generate higher static pressure whereas fans with lower rake won't generate as much static pressure.
What is a "rake?"
Thanks. Would this fit the bill?

Except gentle typhoons are not currently available anywhereOther than looks, I see no reason to buy those over Gentle Typhoons. They're not any cheaper.

When I looked 1.5 weeks ago I could not locate any AP14 models. I do not want the AP15 ones. . I have since find some higher pressure fans at a much cheaper price point of any of the ones mentioned thus far. Masscool BLD-12025V1R

Panaflos are insanely loud. Gentle Typhoons, not so much.
Only if you use a high speed variant or don't put them on a fan controller. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/paaxfa1.html
I use several of the mid speeds with a fan controller and they're some of the quietest fans I've ever dealt with, while still moving far more air than anything else I've seen for the same noise.
If there's no 3rd party test data, there's no proof they are higher pressure.
Which Gentle Typhoons did you want? There's other stores out there.
I wouldn't really directly compare 25mm fans to 35mm fans.
I think they are the same fans (or very close) as the CM R4's which are just down right bad.
I would, so does Martin, many 38mm fan in his tests and all of them are beat by the GT's other than when you start getting into ultra high rpm, and even only then because he only has up to the AP-15's, nothing higher, I would be willing to bet if he did the GT's of the same rpm as the NMB and deltas the GT's would give them a run for the money if not win.

If you have the space for a 38mm fan, then yes why even bother looking at 25mm fans.
If you refer to this table: http://imageshack.us/f/87/fantable124.png/ you will find that the scythe's outperform the panaflo for noise levels at comparable cfm when mounted to a radiator.
I'd venture a guess to say that the scythes are probably quieter because they probably have better static pressure, and therefore the cfm losses when pushing through a radiator are less than the panaflo, thus the panaflo would have to spin faster than the ap-15 in order to achieve the same flow in cfm through the radiator. But hey, thats speculation. All i know is the scythes are quieter at 30 and 35 cfm (when pushed through a rad)
also, the panaflos click pretty bad at low rpm's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RpGB0QRY4Fw#
Honestly, i searched far and wide looking for a fan that wasnt the scythe for my build, but in the end it just happened to be the best performing. =/
