Passive venting does nothing. The regular fan with a thermostat will

I don't know where you got that notion, but it's wrong. If you have
soffit vents and a ridge vent done properly, it will be far more
effective than any fan you install. It's not even close.

OTOH, I think there's room for both, at least here in Texas, where
convection alone is strapped to keep up.
