Default Which radiator

OK guys my radiator has a leak at the inlet hose (where the pipe connects to the end tank)

my choices are the following

ford Racing aluminum with plastic end tanks
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

or the Summit racing aluminum radiator
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku


which do u guys think I should go with..

I have a manual trans so the trans cooler fittings dont do anything for me however the ford racing is a upgrade oem fit (but with plastic end tanks) and the summit is a cheeper one prolly cool well also but wont be oem fit

otherwise I can buy your run of the mill parts store radiator OEM fit for prolly 100.00-125.00 tops..

I do plan to run a supercharger int he future so I have to keep that into consideration to I need a good radiator to be the one I will always run
