I like that last design too, Tex.
If I can suggest... First, making round pins is unecessarily difficult. Given that, and that the flow is incoming at 45 degrees, you might consider making square pins, that sit at a 45 degree angle from the base, pointing towards the barbs.
The main benefit is that you'll now have a base with twice the surface area. You can play with the angle, and the remaining baseplate thickness, to optimize the whole thing.

Glad you like the design...
The pins are, actually, hexagonal, not round, but it is not so visible from those screenshots. The flow is not incoming at 45 degrees, but closer to 90...please see the cross-section...
I have attached a model of 45-angled pins...is this close to your suggestion?
