Depends what the car is for. For the street, if packaging works out better, air-to-water will be just fine, but with the engine already at the front, the added cost, complexity, and weight don't seem worth it when it's only a short run to where the intercooler would mount. (For a mid-engine setup it's much more understandable.)
If the car will see the track (as in, circuit racing, not drag racing) then I strongly suggest avoiding the air-to-water because it'll quickly heat-soak and become useless.
