I have the HD 19.5 inch 7-blade clutch fan.
I don't see have the flex is going to make much of a difference. The fan's impact is at low or no speed where the flex and non-flex should be equal. And both fans are designed to zero themselves out at highways speeds where yours is getting hot again.
Looking at your temps vs speed info, I'm thinking you just don't have enough water flow. Is the WP pulley the correct size? Does the Flow Kooler water pump come with the cast impeller vs the stamped design that many have found to make a big difference when looking at replacement water pumps?
The distilled water/water wetter issue is unclear as to whether you put in any coolant/antifreeze. I run 50/50 distilled water/Prestone. I mix it myself vs the pre-mixed versions.
