Default Auxiliary Tranny cooler

I'll ask this one again: what brand is considered a good one?
I want reliable extra tranny cooling...with not TOO much install difficulty.

I bought a HUGE one from the junkyard (about 15" x 20"), out of a Crown Vic police car, for 20 bucks. It was in PERFECT shape and installation was a breeze (tie-wrapped it to my rad). I couldn't see spending 60-100 for a name-brand new one. If you need a smaller one the Ford Tempo size is around 4" x 15", the junkyard might sell you that for 5 dollars. You can kind-of see mine in this picture.

Thanks...since I'm not near a junk yard, I ended picking up an "Ultra Cool" from NAPA for $57. It's about 5 x 9 inches and 3/4 thick.
Looks like 3/8 tubes.
