There are other factors to look into. Two of them include:
- Average humidity during the hotter months.
- How high you run the RPMs and how long to you hold them High

Given the fact that you do not plan on tracking the car, I would probably recommend the 25 row given what you have stated. This will also help out if you are on a budget (who isn't?!). It will be more than capable in keeping your temps in check in most situations and will fulfill what you need it to do.

Keep in mind, you cannot make an oil cooler BIGGER if you find out later you need it. However, you can always make a cooler "smaller" by covering up a few rows on the core. This will prevent air from passing across the core, essentially making it a 25 row core...or even a 19 row if you wanted.
