You should be fine with either. The 3 row usually makes for a thicker core, increasing capacity. The more rows, the more surface area the coolant sees while traveling through the radiator, thus making it more efficient. The only possibly "downside" to having a 3 row is the capacity increase, making your car take slightly longer to warm up.
