I guess it depends on what climate you're basing your primary requirements on... we live in a relatively cold section of Victoria that experiences regular cold weather patterns (with the odd heat waves tossed in too) hence the compromise between a "stand-alone" transmission cooler and an "in-series" configuration, as I stated earlier I went for the OEM->DC set up because the plumbing was the easiest (with the available tubing) I may experiment down the track with the opposite arrangement with the radiator's heat exchanger more directly regulating the returning transmission oil's temperature
