Default H2B cooling question

Hey people,
I'm planning out my cooling system for my h2b swap and I wanted to see peoples cooling set ups. I've read about some people in cooler parts of the country using the stock single core civic radiator for there H22's and it cooled the motor for normal driving and some highway, but I live in Texas. I was thinking of either going with a stock dual core or an integra radiator. Also would like to what hoses worked best for each set up. Thanks in a advance.

in my teg i ran stock teg radiator, with modified prelude hoses with a temp gauge sandwich plate in the middle

i thinkthe new owner of my car ditched it and used a nissan bluebird sr20 top tank hose... its a perfect fit.... dunno wat you guys in the USA would use tho

I used my stock civic radiator and gsr hoses. highest temps were in the low 90's. did not overheat in the 10 or so months I daily drove it.

Put about 200 miles on stock eg rad. seems fine to me.

I will be going to a dual core just for the safety function as it will be a track car but single should be ok.

ok, but I this car will see some track time later on down the road and I will be upgrading then. Does anyone using the stock single core think believe that this setup has a time limit? what are the better hose set ups?
