I've read that the stand alone oil cooler is "better" but haven't seen any evidence as to why.
I've also read people praising the JR combo, so, yeah...

I have the JR Dual-Rad, and it's awesome. But I think you're misunderstanding how it works. It is not an oil to water cooler in the traditional sense.
Also, important to note that the oil temp reading using the OEM sensor is /after/ the cooler, not before the cooler, because the cooler runs off a sandwich plate. So, yeah, it's totally possible to see 200F on track with an oil cooler, but that is it's temp after cooling, it's peak temp (pre-cooling) is probably 50-80F higher than that.
