Default Trans Cooler Mount - Driver or Passenger side

I have my mounting straps to the A/C condensor made. I was just wondering if the side made any difference. Would think middle would not be "lined up with a fan" and not be as desirable.

The lines are shorter on the passenger side but it then shields the air from the radiator part of the trans cooler loop.

So I am looking for reasons why that is not the better of the two.

A second thought is does this extra hose, coil, etc make the trans pump have to work harder? Would there not be additional back pressure on the rubber hose going into the bottom of the radiator? I planned on replacing that section with braided line also but was currious what other thought of that idea.
