If you just get an escalade cluster it has a tranny temp gauge and it's plug and play. It's already in the harness for it. Stock thermo will be fine. Install should be easy since the kit comes with EVERYTHING. Definitely get it tuned afterwards because the stock radix tune leaves A LOT on the table. Any tranny cooler w/a GVW of 25K should be fine. 2600 stall is going to be perfectly matched to the charger. If the price is different between that tranny the the FLT level 5 65e I would just go for the cheaper one. I havent heard of anyone busting one yet and plenty of people are pushing 500+ hp through them. Sounds like you made a great purchase :head:
Radix on the way, few questions on details.

Congrats on the blower. You're going to love it! 
My tranny lasted 2 weeks, behind my whipple at 6 psi. I was beating the shit out of it though. I replaced it with a FLT level 5, and its been great ever since. I also had the Yank TT2600. It flashed to 2800 in mine, which was perfect for the cam I was running. It's pretty mild, and it felt almost stock after a while. When I started collecting parts for my current build up, I snagged a 3 disk PI 3200. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action. I think the Yank is exactly what you're looking for. As for the tranny cooler... get the biggest one you can fit in there. It's cheap insurance.
I have 3 gauges in my pillar pod... boost, fuel pressure, and an Aeroforce scan gauge. It is one of the best things that I've gotten for the truck. I would highly recommend this combo. The scan gauge allows you to monitor the IAT, like you were wanting, and about 20 other things, along with the ability to read trouble codes, etc. It's a hell of a product.
I would suggest running a slightly cooler stat and NGK TR6 plugs.
Start saving. Running a blower in a heavy truck is not cheap. I've replaced everything but the transfer case in mine.

I hope mine lasts longer than 2 weeks. But I don't drive my truck very often, I usually drive the work goat. I will definately get a big tranny cooler. Where can I get this scan gauge from? Does a 180 Stat sound good? Thanks for all the input/help fellas.Congrats on the blower. You're going to love it!
