Trans Cooler Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Needing to buy a trans cooler for a newly rebuilt T-350. Has a stage 2 shift kit and a 2K stall converter, behind a mild 350 (maybe 300 hp). The cooler that was on the truck is a tube and fin design 1"x 11"x 8", which was used along with the stock radiator cooler.
Would it be better to use the same setup with a new cooler, use a larger cooler with the radiator, or completely bypass the radiator and go with a larger external cooler?
What is the performance difference between the stacked plate and the tube and fin coolers?

Any recommendations or thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
