B&M is my favorite for trans coolers. Get a 16K or 19K GVW. That is plenty for a stock + stall car.

Also, you might want to consider a fan switch or some custom programming to cut the fans on sooner for more air flow across the cooler.

19k should be fine. I am using a 24k and my temps are around 170

If you are not running one of the cold air kits, go with the 24000 and don't look back. There is no such thing as too much tranny cooling.
