What makes you think you need to upgrade the oil cooler? What are your oil temps?

stock all the way! reason being is that theres not alot of stress being put on the cooler....so theres no need to upgrade, at least i dont think so...never seen it done...therefore no need....good luck
ive also heard that alot of aftermarket oil coolers suck bad and dont add up to the stocks standards....

Yeah, the stocker is fine unless your oil temp gauge says something is really hot. But if that is case it could because of ducting issues, fmic, or the thermo bypass is screwing up.

I would say there is a lot being asked of the oil cooler. It does like 30% of the engines cooling :p

I would first try putting a small duckbill across the top of the stock oil cooler. It should force a little more cool air through the oil cooler instead of spilling over it.

(Of course the belly pan is still there right?)
