Hello, sdpegasus.:-D

Well, I'd choose "his".

"I am his big fan."
"I am a big fan of his."
But,
"I am a big fan of Elvis Presley."

I don't know why. It's an interesting question, indeed.

I've found a previous discussion here.

(Edit) And one more.

I could see either one being used in real life by natives.
