I replaced the old fans in my house with Panasonic Whisper Fans and while they aren't truly "silent", they're a million times quieter than the average fan, which is nice (at least for me). Since the room doesn't have a window, I'd recommend two fans: One over the toilet and one over the shower.
I have a pair of these in my Master. They're extremely efficient and easy to clean.

Also, don't forget to purchase Glass Light covers for your recessed lighting. It'll help to prevent moisture from getting into the fixtures.
This is an example, although I found them for a fraction of the cost at USA Lighting.com

And whatever you do, add more lighting than you'd ever think you'll need. We put in 12 six inch can lights and a vanity light that spans the entire two sink fixture and we still ending up adding a Solar Tube for even more light. |
Ugh.
Don't get me started on venting ****ing fans. Whatever ****lehead installed the exhaust fan currently in the bathroom just put the fan in the ceiling and went ahead and put the insulation overtop of the exhaust. What the **** does that do? Jesus ****ing Christ.
I didn't even realize it until I thought my roof was leaking. The ****ing rafters are pretty tight for my gigantor ass. I have to go a fair ways on my knees, which are junk. But I freaked the **** out and got up there. Top of the insulation is bone ass dry. So I go looking. Start trying to find walls and shit. Where the **** is the exhaust fan in the bathroom....Kitchen....Exterior wall....WTF? It's got to be right here. Call Wife - turn on fan. Here it the **** is. Right here under this god ****ing insulation. It exhausted the steam right into the insulation where it ran in to the other room.
The amount of profanity I laid down in that attic was....we'll call it substantial.
