Hey Jamie,
I am no expert in air but I have yet to read on this site in 4 years that if done right aeration is not the way to go it's always a positive. You have great inflow for sure but you are also 18 feet deep. That is good in winter as fish will seek deeper water then, but even if you only used the air during the winter to keep a nice hole in your pond it would be worth it I think. My grand dad had a pond in Wis. and he always had air running in it during the winter in a shallow spot to keep the ice open. I am sure some other folks will chime in and give you the exact advice your wanting, but IMO air is always a plus for your pond if (Done Right)!
Good Luck,
