Suggestions for an upgraded radiator?

It would seem I have a small crack in one of the plastic end tanks on my radiator. 2009 SV. Curious if anybody has found or installed anything more efficient. So far I have found a couple of completely aluminum units from manufacturers I've never heard of. I've seen the Mishimoto unit for the 6th gens and unsure if it would fit. Any advice other than "ThEsE aReN't RaCe CaRs" would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I replaced my 2010 SV radiator this past March, at 187k miles with one that I got off eBay. I paid $125 for it and had a shop put it in because my a/c o-rings were bad as well. All in all the job cost me roughly $700 dollars.

Did you just use an OE style radiator or something different? I'm looking for something more performance oriented. Plan is to replace the radiator, condenser, put in a bigger trans cooler, and add an oil cooler. Probably going to use some Mishimoto universal parts for the oil and trans.

I bought a slightly upgraded OE style radiator. By slightly upgraded, eBay has a radiator and a/c condenser kit that they sell. I park my car inside so none of my undercar components were corroded but because the car is 13yrs old I replaced everything coolant related when the radiator went out.
