Default Need new cooling fans

on my 05 350Z the fans are not always coming on when they are supposed too. My Husband smacked them with a hammer and they seem to be ok. I still want new ones, what replacement fans do you recommend ? My Z is my Commuter car so I do not need special Racing Parts.

I Bought a MOTORAD /GATES 170 degrees tstat . Liz Z and I changed the Coolant installed new Fans and a Tstat. Her Z is now over heater in about 30 mins . We have a Coolant funnel that mounts on the Radiator ,we bled the bleeder screw in the back , the heat is on full blast , the car has the front raised up.I think we bought a BAD Tstat . I think it was bad out of the box . I know it sounds crazy but that is what I think, I think it is not opening all of the way. It just seems to me that the coolant is not moving like it should.
