What material property is used to measure heat transfer capacity?
(OP)
I am designing a part that needs good heat transfer capabilities (heat fins) and am comparing a few potential materials. Which property is it that tells me how good its heat transfer capability is? Thermal conductivity? Specific heat capacity? Does a higher number mean better heat transfer?

If you are looking at transients the specific heat capacity will also be important.
