My question is, even if I go with the 34 row, will having the thermostat ensure that even when I'm not pushing the car hard and it's not really warm out that the engine will get a minimum oil temp that it needs to operate optimally? That is, does the thermostat ensure that the oil won't run "too cold"?

Or do I just need to go with the 25 row?

The thermostatic plate won't close all the way to allow the oil to get to operating temps, but some will still make it to the cooler. This is why some members have ventured out and made DIY's for Oil Cooler plates to block the airflow. It's a simple and inexpensive mod that has promise. Most of the tracking guys swear by the larger the cooler the better, so you can't go wrong with the 34 row.
