I just joined the leaky radiator club!

Does anyone have a recommendation on a replacement radiator brand? I have been reading threads/reviews on various websites and feel like I'm going in circles. OEM, aftermarket, all-aluminum all seem to be crappy. Which one would be the lesser of all evils?
I'm on my 4th one, tried factory, fancy aluminum and had the best luck with the Omix-Ada that's currently on it.

BBS, any ideas why you are going through so many rads? Bad luck or are they getting damaged where you wheel?
The factory rad failed and I replaced it with the Omix-Ada.
I was offered a fancy aluminum one so I replaced the Omix (which was fine) for the new aluminum.
The fancy aluminum one only lasted about a year, so I replaced again with a new Omix-Ada. At the time they were <$200 so I replaced with a a new one instead of using the old one.

Hindsight with the cost of coolant I should have just left the Omix in there :)
