I have used an external ATF filter in every truck I've used since the late 80's. No problems with trannies (except that damn UltraDrive in the Caravan) since beginning to use them.
My gallery has photos of how I did mine.

I'd go full flow. I also put it in pre-coolers to try to keep the junk out of them in case of catastrophic failure of the T/C. If you put one on check the flow when you've finished your install and make sure it's not to restrictive. I just used a filter head from Summit that takes a regular oil filter.

This is the last extra filter I have to install. I'm getting ready to change the fluid (still in a quandry as what to use that is available locally) I figure I'll put the external filter on at that time.
Based on the comments above, I will now likely buy this kit:

If you guys had said to go with bypass instead, I guess I would have bought the external kit almost at the bottom of this page:

Dieselsite is not the only one carrying such a kit. BD Power offers one also for $ 205.-. Their P/N is 1064013. If you google that number you'll find several sites offering it. BTW, I'd be curious why the kit from dieselmann wouldn't work. It looks as if it has all the basic components, maybe not as fancy, or what am I missing here ?

Thanks Squaredancer...
As long as it is our BD Product and not something labeled as ours, that would make them a BD vendor not competition, they are allowed to advertise at 10% off.
I am not seeing a link, did you post one?
