I would always go with the biggest one allowed. A heavy duty one that is used in the towing package. Bigger means more coolant to cool the engine.

If you only need a radiator then dont get the trans cooler unless you want to get a big and better one. You can get them for like 50 bucks and well worth it if you ask me.
