Default New Thermostat

1996 LT1 totally stock
I am replacing the radiator with a 2 row aluminum from Ecklers, upper and lower hoses and I need to replace the thermostat. Jeez... never saw so many opinions on a thermostat but I guess the way the LT1 heads are cooled the correct thermostat is very important.
So I ask... which one do I need for a stock casual cruiser with a new 2 row radiator and the factory stock fans?
