These are Jeeps, they always run HOT. Always go with the biggest one available.

Aluminum cores are 1" thick so a 2 row aluminum radiator is equivalent to a 4-row copper/brass radiator which has 1/2" cores.

Our bolt-in aluminum rads are 2-core.

I've looked around recently and supposedly the new 3 core radiators are equivalent to the old 4 cores in cooling capacity. The tubes are bigger or something.

Definitely go with the biggest one...
