Did you end up going with Garcia?

I'm having similar issues. Gettic AC unit replaced Monday and my attic is hot. I have 2 powered vents. Replaced 1 motor last year and 1 the year before. The newest one wasnt starting up. Had to push with my fingers to get it going. I think the motors are sealed. I'm tired of replacing them and they don't seem to do a great job anyways. Should I replace with Whirlybirds? Any other suggestions?

Yes, power vents are a thing of the past.

Is this a diy thing you think or should I use a roofer?

Really depends on your skill set. I've changed them myself before.
YouTube likely has tips. Check it out and see how you feel about it.

Right. I feel pretty confident. I guess I will need to pre measure the holes for my power vents and see how difficult it is to get the bottom piece out without damaging shingles

Does anyone have opinions on these externally braced turbines? What's the better option? Internal or external?

I use a prybar like this to get to the nails under the shingles.
Take your time and try not to damage them. Unless they are old and brittle you should be ok. Pick up a tube of roofing pitch/sealer too.
Top part of the base goes under the shingles and bottom part stays on top.
