Default Where to measure my oil temperature.....help

Hey guys

I want to put a T into the oil line coming from the remote oil adapter on the side of my 427FE so I can plug my mechanical oil temp sensor in there (I don't have room up front on my Avaid oil pan because it sits too close to the cross member) and I have a question....

QUESTION:
I will be running a oil cooler with a mocal thermostat and a remote oil filter up at the waterpump. So which line should I put the T on to measure the temp at?
A) the line going out of the block to the filter or
B) the return line back from the cooler into the block?

My gut says to measure the oil fresh out of the block going to the filter, but I have heard differently....

Any thoughts?

Thanks
