Both designs have their pro's and cons...the B&M's are definitely tougher and won't bend (solid plates as opposed to fins), but the tube and fin design doesn't block as much air across it. The B&M one is also supposed to have some sort of check/bypass for cold operation (or something like that?), and is designed to not cause a drop in line pressure.

Ya and the stupid plate type can't be flushed, so if your trans goes, replace the cooler too.
I also heard the tube type cooles better, but I'm not sure.
