Any suggestions on sizing a Setrab Series 1? Perhaps a 34 or 44 row, oriented on it's side, is the route I want to go. Mostly a street car that sees monthly autocross with sporadic HPDE. I do plan to do more HPDE after install. Thoughts appreciated.

Vegas uses a 1 series Setrab. We find packaging is much easier having the I/O closer together. Anecdotally, more rows that are shorter tend to be more thermally efficient than fewer, longer rows and have less pressure drop.
We have switched to 1 series whenever the packaging allows it.

And I have benefited from that switch - thanks for the cheap 6 series!
I'd just note that for a mostly-street car, you're probably splitting hairs here unless you're generating a lot non-standard heat. The pressure and cooling differences between different arrangements are probably moot as long as you're not at one extreme or the other of rows vs length.
My $0.02.

As a champion over-thinker, I agree with building in headroom. The reality I've discovered though is that by the time you start needing that headroom, some other thing has come up which sends you in a different direction. Witness - "I love how reliable this car is on track, so let me completely replace the drivetrain because I'm tired of being passed down the straight by aggressive butterflies" -> well, I'm in there anyhow -> $$$.

I asked this question on the FB group, and only got one or two responses. Although discussed here are there in this thread, I was looking for thoughts on 180 vs 205 degree thermostats. I am tempted to purchase a 205 given I have a street car that will see autox regularly and hpde around 4-5 times a year. Thoughts?

Try Bat-Inc for 205° Mocal things. https://www.batinc.net/
Another option that I don't see mentioned much is Improved Racing.

I have parts from both companies, both are miles better than anything Mishimoto I've ever owned, seen, used or handled. IMO you are right in avoiding that particular brand.
