Either should preform as well as the larger Mocal Laminova or like a 30 row oil to air cooler and will give way more consistent temperature regulation and oil pressure drop than the stock coolers (especially when the oil to water ones are installed without a thermostat)

I've said it before, if you're going to start doing real cooling mods/upgrades in the 2020s go with an oil to water cooler, no thermostat, and an upgraded radiator. Personally I have had very good results with an RX7 FC TII oil cooler mounted in front of the ac condenser, but I would not go that route again.
