Let me know how much heat you want to dump (is there a figure in the engine
spec?) and I can give it a crack.  You can't get very much out of the wings
because of the honeycomb/composite structure and the thick boundary layers
compared to those in heat exchangers.  You cannot get nearly enough heat to
de-ice the wings.  That takes lots of heat, more than composites can stand.  
(I examined running coolant from a liquid cooled engine in the leading edges.
 Forget it.  Too many problems.)  My initial guess is that you are much
better off with the heat exchanger, but I would be happy to have a look and
do a few calculations.
