cooling system (fan question)

[SS Shaun]

so a friend of mine came on the house a few weeks ago and he gave me a list of things i needed to complete before i can start my car. i am on the second to last thing on his list and thats the fan. I was going to put in an e-fan but after talking to my uncle and another car guy friend of mine they both told me forget the e fan and run a fan off your water pump. here are the reasons given to me
1) e-fan draws a lot of amps at start up of the fan.
2) I would need to get a high amp alternator
3) they can fail on you much quicker then a manual fan

so after talking to another chevelle owner he told me to get a fan with a fan clutch and set it and forget it. so i ask you guys what fan should i look for and what fan clutch should i look for? and do you agree on the three things stated to me about using E-fans
