I drive my car all over the place. Track, street, road trips over several time zones in short periods of time, desert, cold, whatever. Radiator is stock and fan is stock.
A head gasket failure has nothing to do with the cooling system unless you have a leak somewhere that contributed to overheating or warped cylinder heads.
Upgrading your cooling system bc of a head gasket leak solves nothing in the long run, and is like putting out a house fire by building another house on top of the existing fire.
Your best bet is to go with an OE-style oil cooler (Forester DIY or Cusco) and call it a day, if you wanted better cooling.
