Brand does not matter that much but size does get the biggest you can fit

plate type coolers are more efficent than fin & tube design.

Agreed you get more BTU with less size with the plate type. I have seen this tested and shown.

Tru-Cool 4490. Very large cooler. Its a stacked plate design.I put it on my car and it works very well. Keeps trans temps between 170 and 190. Even in stop an go. I think it one of the biggest that will physically fit in front of the radiator.
Don't go with tube and fin. I heard that the tube and fin coolers were tested, and they actually heated up the fluid lol.

I went with the 24,000 GVW B&M Supercooler and I've had NO problems with my tranny.
