It depends on how much you like your ear drums.
The NF-F12s have proven that they are, and Tom's appraisals can back me up on this, one of the best fans for radiators around. At full speed, the Corsair SP fans may have the edge, but then they're going to be really loud.
The Monsta rads, although thick, have a relatively low FPI - the 'F12s would be just perfect, mate.

Agree with Josh - NF12s or 1850 Gentle Typhoons are the most talked about fans.
Advantage of the 80mm Monsta over the UT60 looks noticable abover about 1000-1200 RPM based on what I have seen so if you want to make use of the radiator then you are going to be wanting higher RPMs so quieter fans are the ones to look for.
After all there is no point getting the slightly higher CFM fans but running them at low RPMs to keep the noise down because it won't be pushing enough air through to take advantage of the radiator thickness.
You'll get more cooling out of the Monsta rad with slightly lower CFM fans running at higher speeds than the 60mm rad running at lower speeds to keep the noise down on the higher CFM fans.
