Default Replacing my radiator: which one should I buy?

I have a very small but noticeable leak in my radiator, near the lower radiator hose. Its just dribbling now, but I would like to replace it by next weekend, so I'm looking at the different options for radiators, and I see there are both Silla and Nissen radiators available for around $220, along with a host of other makers, some more, some less. What do most of you run for radiators and where's the best/cheapest place to pick one up? Any other tips would be welcomed, I'll be doing all the cooling hoses at the same time. TIA.

There's some from Miami that are even down in the 150 range. But try to source one nearby, so not much freight or rough handling. When working with these pay attention to the small hose connections, which can snap if you look at them hard.
