Air Flow (AF) is best for unobstructed pathways as the air effect is less direct/less concentrated/focused such as rear and top exhausts fans (and to some extent, bottom intake, in case you don't have your PSU's power cables running atop the fan's intake flow).

Static Pressure (SP) is best for obstructed pathways as the air effect is more direct/more concentrated/focused such as CPU cooler radiators (if any) or front intake fans (where drivebays are blocking the path of the air).
