What always worries me for MKIII owners is that the most popular fan to use is the dual setup from a Ford Contour / Mercury Mistique... Those things die ALL THE TIME! My wife had a Mercury Mistake for two years... we replaced the fans THREE TIMES (Mercury paid for the third, but we got screwed on the first two). Yes, there was a recall on them some time back and most mechanics will tell you they're crap...
Some of the perks to electric fans is that they're not always on, take less room and best of all can be wired to keep cooling while the car is off... same for the the electrical cooling pump on that last one. (hint)
The down sides are: generally weight more than modern mechanical replacements, when they fail... well, they're completely dead, high current demands on the alternator when they are active (they're getting better though).
