Default Transmission Cooler Choices ?Question?

I'm looking at getting a transmission cooler for the setup I'm looking at getting for my baby. I want to install a 3.73 gears and a Yank SS3800 Converter. I was also going to put in a TransGo kit. Anyways, I looking at getting a b&m trans cooler with 24000gvw. I found on ebay a tru-cool trans cooler rated at 40000gvw. would that be overkill? I'm pretty sure the b&m would do fine, but that 40000 one seems intriging. What do you guys think?

I don't know if I have seen anyone go that high. I have the Hayden
# 1405 with a GVW to 26,000 lbs. And it works just fine in my case.

I've got the B&M 24000 and a SS3600 with 3.42's AFR's and 224/228 cam. My trani temp seldom goes over 180. Very satisfied.

I'm looking too, and the ones with thermostats and fans that come on from 160 - 180 look intriguing for 95 degree days sitting in traffic with the AC on, or between runs/waiting in line at the strip. [without the AC on] Derale and B&M both make them. When it comes to mods it seems the possibilities are endless sometimes.
