Default Two row or three row radiator?

The radiator on my 66 200ci 6cy just popped and when looking for a new one, I discovered two kinds. I have never had to mess with one of these things so I don't know which I need. Could anyone point me in the right direction here?

both should be fine, a 3 row radiator has better cooling off power.

Will a 289 4 row fit or do you have to got to a specific radiator shop to find a 4 row to fit a 200ci engine?
