I prefer the Dayton 24 vdc fans, but feed them with 12 vdc. That way they are more quiet and they will last for quite some time. Get the good ball-bearing fans to extend fan life as well.
We use them to cool our exciter radios and PA's at our sites and have not had one fail yet in 6 years. If you can program your controller to turn the fans on and off with PTT, you'll also extend fan life further.
