Default Which efans to use

Ive been debating these for around a year now and still havent done it. Now I have some questions.

Is the 3.8l taurus fan enough to keep these things cool? cause its only one fan

Or, would a dual setup off a windstar work better? & are they a 2 speed fan like the taurus fans?

Im not sure if Im going with a DC Controller or the flex-a-lite controller, their almost the same price anyways.

I didnt think there was enough room to fit 2 of them on the radiator.

And I did find out the Windstar fans have a 15" 2 speed fan and a 13" high speed fan, these are looking better and better

What? Damn that's cheap i can do them now lol. why so cheap compared to the others? Cause it makes me think the 90 dollar ones won't last like the 400 dollar ones.
