Where to buy a radiator and water pump?

It's time for a new radiator and water pump (both are leaking). I've heard good and bad things about radiatorbarn.com and also radiator.com. Some people here have recommended getting a stock replacement because the all metal ones are cheap quality. Others have said get the all metal so you don't get the same leak between the plastic and metal from the OEM.

I found this on Quadratec: http://www.quadratec.com/products/51210_09_07.htm It says it's aluminum but all the other aluminum ones I've seen start around $400???

Anyone know a good place to get a water pump? I believe I've read on here to just pay the money to the dealer and get stock since the $60 ones out there will break every few years.

Any advice? I'm definitely going with two row but now I don't know if I should get an all metal or stock metal/plastic. Aluminum is well beyond the budget unless that one from Q-tec is legit. The stock has lasted to the 100k/10yr mark. What about water pumps? Go with stock or get a cheap one online?

GO with a all metal radiator, the OEM plastic tanks are crap!! Get one with metal tanks. Ive heard a lot of good about radiatorbarn, but dont have any exp with them personally. But eitherway, stay away from the stock plastic tanks!
