Default Dual fan question

Was wondering what other people are doing on their dual fan set ups. Mine are set to come on together at 195 and off at 180. Around town they are on a lot, once on the road they go off. I was told that the best setup is to have one come on earlier and then the other to come on at 195. What do you think is best?

My fans are on all the time. Disavantage= Longer warm ups by a few minutes (but hey todays high will be 113 so warmup will be quick). I have discovered that whatever my thermostat is set at the temp will stay there under most driving conditions.

Dual SPALs on the 502 with a Be Cool rad. come on at 210, off at 180......so far, so good (I use 2 fan relays because I melted the solo relay twice!)
