I recently purchased TG Pro and it's been one of the best purchases I've made for my MBP 16.

With that said, setting up your own custom fan speeds via Auto Boost can be pretty daunting if you're unsure of what to use. My settings are almost identical to the ones described in this video so it's an excellent starting point if you need some guidance.

 
I have a Belkin cooling pad. I only use it on the rare occasions when my 15-inch MBP's internal fans kick on. Cooling pads are very cheap and they cool my MBP in under 5 minutes. They cost less than $10 on Amazon. I have 3 brand new Belkins as backups just in case (one usually last about 2-3 years).
