Educated? More like anecdotal. You've basically said you buy expensive parts because expensive=better. That's it. Can't actually refute anything I've said whatsoever, no data presented, but big-time salty about it for some reason. Either way this is a fan topic and a bracket pusher fan is NOT better, rare to see a pusher fan ever in an OEM vehicle, doesn't matter what it is. It blocks the airflow when they are off. On a puller setup, the air flows through the radiator, then has to flow around it. With a good shroud design there is minimal "packing up" of the air. It actually gets modeled before it's made in production on an OEM design.
You have presented zero actual data. Modern Chrysler built a production car, an SUV, and a pickup that makes ~707 HP on pump gas that you can beat on all day with a warranty. Just works. Stays cool. It's almost like people know what they are doing.
Heat makes electrical devices fail. The controller can sit in your car in ambient temperature while reading the sending unit for your dash gage or an independent one if you choose. Not any less reliable at all. All it does is read a sender and ground a relay according to it's program.
I have literally never had an issue with any OEM fan controller or OEM fan. Ever. Failures are really rare. Most OEM cars it's the ECM grounding a relay and that's it. That's all the Dakota Digital controller does as well. But the controller allows you to use a dual speed fan or control fans independently. Offers some nice flexibility.
