What y'all use? Any coolers better than others for the price?

Also pics of where you mounted it?

What type of inlet line from the box to cooler do you use and from the cooler back to the pump.

Pics would be great I pretty much know how I'm gonna route mine but would like to see other ideas to
 
I just got a small tube & fin from napa, dont remember the exact dimensions but its 6x10". I already have a huge trans and huge oil cooler in front of my radiator so I didnt have room for the PS cooler up there. Its mounted under the engine driven cooling fan laying flat to the ground, in front of the x-member that has the steering box brace, brake prop valve, etc bolted to it.

Seems to do a decent job, my steering doesnt get jerky after driving awhile and my brakes dont get mushy (hydroboost)

I just plumbed it in to the low pressure return line from the box to the pump
 
I ran a stacked cooler....the PS is the one on the right in the pic, but I mounted it lower on the core support to keep it lower than the remote reservoir fill point.

I used one of the magnefine inline filters. For the time being I just zip tied it to the ORD brace.
