Yup it's gonna be squeezed down at the fitting either way and 12 is harder to run. You are talking about the oil lines to the cooler right?

from the oil adapter to the oil cooler and then to the remote oil filter housing and the cooler gets plumbed in on the in side correct not after the filter housing

+2.
Not only that, hot oil filters quicker than cooler oil.
#10 is fine. That's what I use.
