The SR is a motor that typically runs hot. People always recommend doing electric fans, but I think with other, more effective cooling mods, your fan setup shouldnt really make a difference. Whatever setup you decide to do (electric or clutch fan), as long as its done PROPERLY, you shouldnt have a problem. I dont think your fan setup should be the deciding factor in whether or not your setup is going to overheat. Ive got an SR going in this summer, and my plans are as follows: Mishimoto or equivalent radiator, Nismo 62*C thermostat, FMIC, Samco hoses, and a clutch fan with SR shroud. Ill probably run Engine Ice as well. I dont anticipate any problems. I think the electric fans are an extra step that 90% of the people on here could skip.
