We went with the horizontal sliders, so you can open one section go and close it behind you. Also it's much cheaper, we paid $850 installed for our 12' door opening.

John,
I 100% agree with you about the screen being the best way to go. The screen also adds to the beauty of the neighborhood by concealing the contents of your garage when the door is open. Prop the attic stairs open a bit and the process of thermodynamics will take over and pull the "cooler" air into the attic and out the ridge and soffit vents. IMHO there is no real benefit to any kind of attic fan.
