Help Me With My HAF X v2 Fan Planning

Hello,

It would be great if I could run what I had in mind by you and get your opinions.

In my build I will be using the Coolermaster HAF X v2, the Asus Sabertooth X79 motherboard and the H100 in push/pull. Basicly I want to have control over all of the case fans and I intend to max it out thus:

HAF X
Top: x2 200mm Cooler Master Mega-Flow (control module driven)
Rear: x1 140mm Stock (control module driven)
Side: x1 200mm Stock (control module driven)
Front: x1 230mm Stock (control module driven)
Vga Funnel: x1 120mm - Cougar Vortex CF-V12HP (CHA_FAN2 header driven)
Vga Bracket: x1 80mm - Noctua NF-R8-PWM (maybe) (CHA_FAN1 header driven)

H100 (CPU_FAN header driven)
Top & Bottom of Rad: x4 120mm - Cougar Vortex CF-V12HP (H100 pump driven)

Now what I had planned to do was to connect the top, the rear, the side and the front fans on the case to a decent fan control module. I was then going to let the motherboard dictate speed to the internals such as vga funnel & bracket connecting them to CHA_FAN1 & CHA_FAN2. That motherboard will also use an IO fan (stock) connected to ASST_FAN. The CPU_FAN header will take care of the H100 and the H100 will take care of its own fans via the pump control. That leaves CHA_FAN3, CHA_FAN4 & CPU_OPT redundant/not connected (though I'd love to find them a job). I suspect that CPU_OPT is a repeater header of CPU_FAN, I haven't found conclusive documentation on that. Thats basicly what I imagined at this point.

There is still a question in my mind, do we want to leave the hardware to dictate control or do we want to do it ourselves/trust the control module and is it really such a great idea to mix the two philosophies. What I do already know from experience is that software/bios control is usually less than adequate but better than direct power...

So then, what are your thoughts / what would you do? Also what would you recomend for me as a decent control module (if going that route).
