I just ordered a dual 120mm fan radiator and was wondering if Newegg has any fans recommended for a water cooled radiator? This is my 1st build so I don't know what qualifies a good fan for water cooling but obviously I want them to be quiet and also be able to cool the heat soaked water as it passes through.

Any suggestions? I am asking for a selection from Newegg since I have a nice credit with them.

I usually only by Antec fans but I am open to what you guys recommend.

Yate Loons....www.petrastechshop.com.

Don't waste your money on expensive $20 or $30 a pop fans. These $5 a pop fans are as good and in most cases better. I ditched my $30 a fan Silenx Pros for these. The two are pretty much identical in airflow and noise. In fact, I think the Yates are quieter.
 
I second the Scythe S-flex. Better build quality than the yate loons, quiet, and well balanced.

Avoid cheap brands, and Ultra brand fans, as 3/4 of my ultras are imbalanced.
 
Yate Loon's are a great choice like many others said, the D12SL are the most popular... however you didn't mention what rad you purchased? This could make a big difference in the type of fan you should buy. For instance, the Yate's D12SL's work great on BIP's, MCR's, and Thermochill's but not so good on lets say a BIX or GTX. The latter require a higher CFM fan....

Exactly...

Yates are great for a BIP, MCR or PA series rad and even the GTX, but blow (or don't blow?) on a BIX style rad.

If you do have a BIX, you'll want 1 yate loon on each side.

What's your rad OP?
