As I see it, the electric fans come in pairs for a reason. One fan should be enough to get you through slow traffic. You don't need any fans for highway cruising.

I'm installing electric fans. My reasoning, is 95% of my driving is short 1-mile trips, or highway-speed cruising. I won't need fans in either scenario. With electric fans, they'll mostly just sit there unused. I'm very rarely driving in stop-n-go traffic, and I'm not installing air conditioning. My engine mounts will allow for a mechanical fan though, so if I have problems, I could easily swap it out.
