Default aftermarket tranny cooler plumbing poll, how is yours run?

So i have read much debate on how people like to plumb their tranny coolers. in particular what the fluid flows through first. How did you set yours up? what seems to be more efficient and why?

1. Tranny > radiator > cooler >tranny
2. Tranny > cooler > radiator > tranny
3. Tranny > cooler > tranny
4. Tranny > radiator > Tranny (i don't have a aftermarket trans cooler)

It should be run tranny, radiator, cooler, tranny; unless you live where it doesn't get below 40-50 degrees, then you can just go tranny, cooler, tranny.

Ran mine thru rad, to cooler back to trans. Honestly don't know which way would be better than the other. I just know in Indianapolis, we have HOT summers and COLD winters. So I probably needed the rad part to help with warming up and not letting it get too cool (if that's possible)

I also mounted mine down behind the bumper in the bulkhead. I didn't wanna block my condenser as I really like the way AC preforms. It still cools down the fluid A LOT. When I stopped the other day after driving for bout am hour. I felt the lines, trans output was nice and hot, couldn't hold my hand on it too long. The return was just warm.
