Default 8 or 10 blade aux fan for older XJ's?

Is it worth putting on an 8 or 10 blade S- curve (electric) fan on my '89...say from a '95-96 or something? I know connectors can be different, aint worried about that..but do they pull much more air? I have a new Dorman 5 blade S-curve fan sitting here, was going to replace my original 6 blade straight blade, just because. ..then I thought about more blades being better maybe?

Not overheating or anything but I spiffied up my cooling system and thought Id maybe upgrade the fan a bit.
Thanks!

Id go with a 10. They pull more air. The 97 and up have them.

Yes the ten wide blade fan is the best it pulls more air then all the other fans . I have one in my xj and it works , when it kicks on my temp drops . when the a/c on and the fans running my temp holds steady .
