Also, do you plan to modify or remove the lower plastic cover? I imagine you would want max air passing across the fins.
Also your first idea of a liquid cooled pan isn't far off from what Nissan began doing in 2012 (and earlier outside of the US). If you want the liquid cooled option see if you can get the OEM parts off a 2012.
