Electric or mechanical fan?

[rwade]

I am putting a 6.0L in my 72 Chevy truck. It will have a cam in it. This is a show truck that doesn't see many open road miles, just shows. I'm wondering if the electric fan is the way to go, or just better for cosmetics. And will the stock alternator handle the increased load? Or go with the low maintenance, old faithful mechanical fan (that if used would Probly dissaprear in my fan shroud). I realize the electric would save me about 15 horsepower. Opinions? Thanks
