Which radiator

I have a 96 xj 4.0 and the radiator started leaking bad! What would you guys recommend I buy to replace it? Just get oem or is there any upgrades for a daily driver?

Thanks

I got a champion 3 core aluminum one off eBay.. Great welds. Real pretty. Built in tranny cooler. See how it holds up but working great so far!

For a DD with no over heating issues I would go with a $100 one from AutoZone, my son has one and never had any issues with it on or off road.

Yeah Ive never had any over heating issues, pretty much everything has been replaced in the cooling system besides the radiator and heater core. I suppose if I stick with a name brand I should be good to go.

Got one off ebay for $58. Lifetime warranty. They said for the warranty you send them pics of the leak/problem, not the whole radiator. Fit just fine and has been working fine.
