But, you got an advantage over the "beginners".
You did several conversion and you are able to compare.
Hands on experience instead of theory.

HoH is more bulky, you have more hoses to run, and to insulate, but that's minor. My TiH couldn't have been easier to install. There is no way an equal length of HoH can put out more heat than TiH, thats simple thermodynamics. You must have insulated better.
Whether you need more heat depends on how you have it plumbed and where your FPHE is. Unless you have 2 FPHE, the extra heat of my TiH is very needed on my rig to help cold VO to flow through my filter. Since my FPHE is just before the IP, where it is needed the most, it doesn't help get it through the VO filter.
Frybrid uses TiH for years and hundreds of installs, and is considered the best kit for cold climates. I haven't read any threads of people having leaks in their TiH. Have you seen any reports of the TiH failing?
Greasecar HiH is bad, but for other reasons, since they use poor connections, some inside the fuel tank. And they use Pex inner hose, which I have seen and read about many leaks on.

Even if I added another heat exchanger at the tank there will be 6 to 8 feet of line that has -30f oil in it. I have no experience with operating or building a system but I can't help but notice that there so may posts about pumps and pumps failing it seems to me the more I control my oil temp going threw the pump the better luck I will have with it lasting.
