The radiator on my wife's car decided to blow out today at the upper hose connection, and now I'm in the market for a replacement. I see all metal radiators at radiatorbarn.com and an OEM style one at FCP Groton. Is there any good reason to go with one over the other? I've seen enough of the plastic/aluminum ones fail at a hose connection so that I'm not exactly enthusiastic about replacing with an OEM style part, but if engine corrosion through the coolant (from the FAQ) really is an issue I guess there's no other choice?
