Main question is:
Looking for advice on which transmission oil pan(s) would do the best job of cooling for my 2003 Yukon XL.

points to note:
I do plan to add an additional cooler in front of the radiator at some point, but if it can only do good to have both, I'll do both.
Build quality is equally as important to me as cooling properties.(don't want to go with a style that is prone to crack or leak, despite better cooling ability)
The three main manufacturers I've learned of so far are TCI, Derale, B&M.
The two main types I've seen are fins on the bottom of the pan, or tubes that run through the pan.
I usually have at least four passengers with me and tow a 28' pontoon boat w/150hp engine.

any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I wouldnt worry too much about the pan, the extra trans cooler should be fine..... If you want a deeper pan for more oil, that wouldnt be too bad, but this is also GMT400 forum, try the newer body style for your 2003..... :)
