Default Fan or conventional oven?

I've recently bought a new oven to replace my ageing oven which had
dodgy thermostat and was running so hot that it made baking anything
very difficult.

I made sure that my new oven had a wide range of functions, particularly
the ability to turn the fan off because I had read that a fan oven
wasn't best for baking. So now I can chose to use top and bottom heat or
to use the "circotherm" fan function.

The question is, is it really better to bake without the fan or are fan
ovens better for some types of baking?
