3/8"
I used better 3/8" hose from the parts store on my installation. The hose that ships with Hayden coolers is a little tighter than normal.

Did you flare the hard line? I spliced into the soft section of the return line, but the new connections are brass barbed splice connections. 6 clamps total, not 8. They aren't going anywhere.
I used splices like these:

Yesterday I got rid of the leaking rubber hosed quick disconnects on the oem trans cooler lines. For now I just spliced into where I had hooked up the B&M cooler. Eventually I'm going to go with 1pc lines like post #4 (Nolan) did. One more thing. The fuel injection clamps are the cats meow. They do hold GOOD.

As a follow up to this, the correct size for the fuel injection hose type clamp for a 3/8 transmission hose is FI8, 9/16-5/8 or 14-16mm. FI10 is too large.
