replacing radiator, suggestions on brands?

My radiatior is cracked at the top and I patched it but it still leaks. I didn't plan on using the patch as permanent fix as I planned on replacing the radiator. Now that Im ready to do so, was wondering what brand I should get? Also I would like to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses. should I replace the smaller rubber hoses for the tranny fluid etc... ?

I would replace all the hoses as well as the bypass hose. I replaced my Rad this year with a CSF - Cooling Systems & Flex CSF# 2464. Around $120 bucks I think. This was the brand I had in there previously that lasted around 10 years.

They make a more expensive one that is all metal design - I chose the low end route with plastic top & bottom.

The AT hoses are 5/16" SAE J189 Transmission Oil Cooler Hose.
