If they're both tube and plate, and the same size, you're gonna want to see how many rows, fin density, wether the fins are staggered or not and if they have turbulators. With good fin design you can have a larger core that's more efficient with less pressure drop.
I'd just Google people's reviews to be honest.

There's not a single aftermarket core that is worse than stock. They're all substantially better.
Back in my modding days, the typical rule was tube and fin had less pressure drop than bar and plate. Bar and plate was more efficient but at the cost of pressure drop. So for the boost pressure a tube and fin will be more efficient, but volume wise I believe the bar and plate to be more efficient.
Either will outperform the stock unit by such a substantial margin you'll be amazed Ford didn't think to do better in this realm from stock (though this is pretty common for factory turbocharged vehicles)

Trying to figure it out!
Placement won't be patented. There is at least one more that goes in the same place as the Full Race if I remember correctly.
As far as the cutting, I just totally removed the shutters.
