Depends on the heatercore. 86 Chevettes are just about the right size for 172mm's to fit so I can't see any reason to go with anything else (for damn near silence get the 235cfm 12v and 5v it, for twice the flow at a few dBA more get a 205cfm 24v and 12v it... or grab any 12v one and rheo it for control.) Naturally with a black ice micro you're going to be using an 80mm, etc... I say use the biggest fan that fits... bigger fans usually mean more flow and more pressure at less noise.
