Recommend a Replacement Radiator?

I have a crack in the plastic tank (OE unit, 156k) so it's time to replace it. Suggestions for a good brand to go with?

RockAuto offers these brands;
TYC 2711 - $113.79
APDI/PRO 8012711 - $120.89
SPECTRA PREMIUM/COOLING DEPOT CU2711 - $142.79
OSC 2711 - $159.79
VALEO 735263 - $223.79

A Dodge radiator would cost me around $425.

While searching I found posts stating radiators from O'Reillys and such actually have a smaller core. Anyone seen this? If true, I'm wondering if the RockAuto units are like this. ???

I know there are some high end all metal units but I can't justify spending $750+ for a performance radiator on a bone stock truck that only sees light work.

I replaced mine (on the 07) a few weeks ago with a Spectrum from Rock Auto, it was identical to the original for size and fitment.
