There's actually more to it than rows, what is actually important is frontal surface area. The larger the area the more cooling. The reason you can't compare rows: I have a 72 row oil cooler (Setrab series 1 is long and narrow) but the total area is the same as the 34 row (Setrab series 6). With there being many different manufacturers simply comparing rows is confusing (but often reasonable).

You don't need a large cooler unless you are hitting the track, but if you do with any regularity - go big.
