Use the stock fan. Henry knew best. Just for the fun of it you could do a Google search on fan design regarding number of blades and blade pitch to see which moves the most air at idle and at speed.
I found the following re: ceiling fans.
"When a fan has fewer blades, there is less drag on the motor and it can go faster and move more air more efficiently. This results in much more airflow and will create a better wind chill effect, making your space feel cooler."
