A Stewart Components tech article says that with modern radiators, you are better off with single pass:

That is partly based on the pressure drop across the radiator.  With the long coolant path is  Pantera, seems like it would be even more important to avoid restrictions.

  Hey all - I need some good advice on radiators. I currently have a
  Fluidyne performance unit without a shroud. I've been told that a
  shroud is a necessity, which I understand. I've had it for about 12
  years now - no leaks. The rumblings on The List lean towards a unit by
  Dennis Quella(?) - don't know the correct spelling or the company, but
  the last I had read from someone was just to get his radiator and "be
  done with it". I think it was a double-pass (I guess that's good) - and
  I assume it's shrouded. Another side of me asks - which is better -
  copper or aluminum? And Why? I know the copper units are heavier, but I
  am not concerned about extra weight. I am familiar with the company  -
  Brassworks - they have been at it since the early 1900's. Ken and Lela
  MacArthur had mentioned Brassworks in July. So - here we go - I know
  the discussion will generate a fair amount of opinions - which I always
  welcome, since it will generate more questions too. Looking forward to
  hearing from all the experts - i know you are out there.
