Air cooling vs water cooling is also heavily dependent on engine size. Very small engines (read lawnmowers, weedeaters, etc.) can be air cooled using only unforced convection with minimal fins (I don't think wind moving at walking speed qualifies as forced). So, how big a engine are you looking at?
