I think what it comes down to in the end is what do you need out of the car. A street/drag/autox car should work well with big front mount. If you decide to track it and the coolant and oil temps get up there, you just have to let off.
For track purposes the optimal is v-mount, this will solve the coolant temps but for big power output cars the oil temps still need to be addressed.
The top mount is just a cheap/temporary solution that can be made to work in either situation. It has other benefits as well: accesibility, weight, not having to cut up your car.

You will benefit from a front mount even on the stock intercooler if you run more than stock boost. Get a front mount. You will make more more and safer power.
There's no need to spend a lot of money on a name brand kit. Find a decent sized spearco core and fabricate your own pipes.

that is true, sometimes i take it for granted that i also am a tuner and not just anyone can toss on a meth/water kit and run the car out of the box.

if anything that i have noticed is that alcohol skews the IAT readings to lower than actual, liquid alcohol on the sensor with air rushing by it could cool the sensor more than the air that is passing by but this is just a hypothesis just as if you dip your finger in rubbing alcohol and wave it around your finger cools off very quickly but alcohol sprayed in the air is not quite as cool but then again it is not moving very fast either to aid in it's cooling abilities.
