250W is more than enough.

I use the 24 port POE 250W with several AP-AC-LRs, edge router x’s, and mesh APs.

Each AP will draw approximately 7W so no need for 500W. 250W of PoE is plenty for 16 APs.

I believe most things that use POE wont be that demanding, still unsure on what you will use but for most regular and unifi stuff 250 should be plenty

Chris from crosstalk solutions have a video about the 24-port switch.

He talks about the 24-ports no POE and the 250W switch.
And that he have not found any usecase for the 500W.

I will take the 250W. (and replace the fans)

Thank You
