I am looking for the best 140mm fan. I am looking for something that is quiet, has high airflow, and high air pressure. I am going to be using them for aircooling at first but I will be moving to watercooling soon so they have to be good at both aspects.

i use the 120mm versions of the cougar vortex fans http://www.cougar-world.com/products/fans/vortex.html which are nice n quiet and have a decent static pressure. you can also get them in 140mm however you are looking for fans for 2 different tasks. case fans = high airflow, if u want fans for water cooling (radiators then you want a higher static pressure. the corsair air series of fans are getting some really good reviews and they have 2 types in the range. high air flow and high static presure http://www.corsair.com/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans.html
everybody has their own preference's with fans so you should get some more suggestions 😉
hope it helps

Only problem with the corsair 140mm fans are that they only have one series of 140mm fans the quiet high airflow series.

I am also looking at these http://www.phanteksusa.com/index.php?p=products_3&id=12&cate=2 but I don't know about them for radiators because of the mounts on the fans. It says that they use 120mm mounts but are a 140mm fan. It also looks as if there are 120mm mounts and 140mm so I am very confused.

This really depends on the radiator you want to use when you go into watercooling.
