Yes with the others above, the aluminum fans are worth it. If you're breaking fan blades from rocks (or as it happened in my case, wires), then you need to do something to protect the fan blades like using screen mesh or a fan cover.
FWIW, i saw these on amazon just recently. It looks to be your standard, generic, 16000rpm 40mm fans for a good price.

I bought 3 of those fans a few months ago, I only have 1 left because the blades broke off. All 3 had covers on them so I know it wasn't rocks.
All good advice above.... find what you like.
For me, it is about planning and fans are in my build plan. Rigs that have a low body like the Typhon TLR limit me to the smaller fan but 40mm. I have a temp prob on all my rigs to see active temps. Those fans work great on the TLR.
When it comes to the Talion it has a low body and took some planning to get a 40mm tall fan in there but did find a way about that build. I'm impressed with the fans because while bashing I can see the active temps so pleased to see how well they do over the stock stuff. Even if one stopped, it will be replaced.

I just saw this https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-4...&pd_rd_r=599a3d27-0885-4157-be9f-43b758af612e then realized we could do the same thing but for voltage.
