Default PermaCool vs. Flexalite vs. LS1

What e fans would you guys recommend on a truck that takes a beating in the desert on a regular basis. The biggest thing is that I need the fans to stay on and not move at all. It's a 28" radiator. I know permacool are aluminum and seem pretty stout, but the price isnt so great. I've seen that the LS1 fans break on the corners. Let me know. Any of you guys with experience with these fans.

I like the Flex-a-lite the most out of the 3.

My lt1 electric fans with Nelson fan harness cool my truck as good as any out there. Got about $160 in them both.

I got the 2 14in permacool pull 2950cfm's each. Had for a little under 2 years and no problems. Never been over normal operating temps, and its hot here in south texas all year round. Still look new as well.
