Depends on what your primary driving conditions are going to be. If you live and drive in phoneix your are going to need to push more air than a colder climate. I am going with dual fans and my controller will determine when the 2nd fan needs to be running.

If you go for a dual fan, google "3 relay cooling fan circuit". It allows both fans to run at a slow speed for low, or run full speed for high. The Camaro I'm using for a engine donar had this setup, so I'm replicating it in the Vette.

I just put my radiator and dual fans in tonight. Using 11'' Spals with copper core and original tanks. I haven't wired my computer and harness yet, so I have nothing working just yet. I'm planning on sending it all to Current Performance for that, and will wire it all up soon. Just wondering if there is an issue with the copper and aluminum heads corroding.
