What should I be looking for in an oil cooler kit?
I'd like to get one on my Newage STI track car but there seems to be a few different features between the various ones available.
I'll probably buy something at the cheaper end of the market unless there's a valid reason not to, but what sort of thing should I be looking for? Oil filter relocation?

Ask why its cheap as a starting point.
Needs to be thermostatically controlled and decent lines,

Run the car with a modine first, you may not need one tbh, a modine is sufficient enough on some big builds, are cars seem to be different.
Use good oil, regularly change and I don't think you might need one tbh, later you can decide if you need one.

That one you've linked to though does look decent and I don't think the cost is unreasonable
Well I've got gauges now so I will likely use it on track before making a purchase and see what's happening. I'm very much "better safe than sorry" minded though.

Problem is so many crap and cheap that its rare to find decent and cheap.
