Size it for the required flow, delta T and pressure drop for your pump.

Yes, size it by the load it has to move, or transfer. Also by the acceptable temperature difference. For example, a close approach sizing method could get the B side within a few degrees of the A side.
The closer you want the two temperatures, the more surface area or plates you need, and adequate flow rate of course.
