Do radiator brands even matter?

[SPYD3R]

I am rebuilding the front end of my car cause i just had a wreck, and whilest doing so, i am going to be adding alot of upgrades(hopefully). Well, one thing I need is a Radiator. Does it even matter what brand, like Koyo or Fluidyne, or would it be just as good to get a OEM styled no name brand that does not leak and has some type of warranty. Cause like, the Koyo and Fluidyne will only run for $150 more maybe....
Thanks

fluidynes are nice and if your insuarnce is paying for it, a fluidyne radiator is not much more than a factory one. I would see what they would do to work with you. They are a good deal thicker (better cooling, more difficult for fans when upgrading turbos), look much better, more solid compared to the plastic endtanked stockers. I would go with a fluidyne if it were me.
