New advice on 6" Clip on Fans for grow tent

I am trying to purchase a couple clip-on fans today or tomorrow for my 4x4x80 vivosun grow tent. I've had problems with Genesis 6" clip on fan from Amazon not staying tight to the side bars and falling down onto the floor.
I have been recommended to these hurricane fans. They are the stationary ones that clip on and tilt, but they do not oscillate. I have also heard that the new vivosun 6" oscillating clip on fans are great (but they are out of stock on Amazon and on their website).
Does anyone recommend the hurricane 6-in clip on fan for a grow tent? Getting two to have above your canopy in a 4x4 for proper air circulation.
I currently have an AC infinity t6 inline fan sucking air out of my tent with a vivo sun carbon filter. I just wanted good air circulation in and around the tent. do you recommend an oscillating fan or is a stationary clip-on fan sufficient?

Vivosun has good value stuff maybe wait for stock. I think the oscillating fan makes a good amount of leaf movement to keep plant strong without wind-burn from a constant wind. Using a 16" vs 2x smaller fans takes half my tent for fan position.

Ive heard a few complaints but never had problems with secret jardin monkey fans.

They stay where you put them and come with 3 different size brackets for different size poles.

Complaints ive heard were about the noise levels. Personally I think some people want the moon on a stick.
The ones I have are all normal fan noise level however they do have a big version which is higher wattage and that is like a jet engine.

edit, pipped to the post by pipefighter. ;)

So my choices come down to:
Active Air 6" clip on Fan
Hurricane 6" clip on fan
Secret Jardin 6" clip on fan

I've read some bad reviews about the vivosun oscillation breaking pretty quickly.
I have a Hurricane like the Genesis, they're basically the same.
I use these now if you "need" something bigger...

I am trying out these hurricane fans. Will be here Wednesday. Hopefully they'll be a little bit better than the Genesis

I just switched the fans in my cart from genesis to hurricane in good faith. Hopefully it all works out. We got pretty much the same setup. 4x4x6 with a t6 inline

Are you doing anything for an intake filter or inline fan for an intake? Like at the bottom of your tent to bring fresh air in

Was at the grow store and he gave me a deal on two Secret Jardin 20w Monkey Fans. 12 hours on Hi and they are making horrible squeaking noise that is louder than all 6 other fans plus AC running but helps a lot keeping temps and humidity evened out. If Vivosun makes it, buy it.
