There is an older topics about optimum placement of the extruder motor in the General section.
You can also see how I solved the mounting of the extruder motor on my delta here.
Not all all-metal hot ends are the same, or even really all metal (the E3D V6 for 1.75mm is not). I have an E3d V4 that does okay with PLA and I have another all metal head that was an absolute nightmare. It would lock up after each print no matter how much air it got. As for the oil, that just sounds like a hassle and a mess. I haven't tried the E3d V6, but not only do I feel it's a lie (as mentioned), but I've blown out so many pneumatic fittings (and bowden tubes) that the idea of it being built in, just makes me cringe.Quote

I can only speak from my experience with my delta. I have a bowden airtripper extruder, with an all metal hot end, a .4mm nozzle, and I print only in PLA. I print great. With all metal hot ends, it is just keeping them cool with fans (I use dual 40mm fans) and using cooking oil when using PLA, as well as increasing the temperature at the hotend if the filament is not melting fast enough.
