Default Rcm Alloy or oem radiator ?

Was having a good day as my new wheels had turned up and fitted them this afternoon.
Then on my way home from fitting them my radiator decided to split on the top hose joint, so now have no car.
Have been looking at my options and not sure which would be best for my needs, it's between the oem radiator or rcm alloy radiator ?
My car is a standard 2002 v7 sti, but will be doing a few performance mods in the future so is it worth buying the alloy one ?
Thanks Jon

Thanks for the advice, think I'll go with the standard one.
Just got to find the cheapest with quick delivery ? Any ideas? I was thinking importcarparts.co.uk ? Does anyone know anywhere else ? Thanks Jon

importcarparts.co.uk are about the cheapest as they source most of there parts direct from japan.SJ.

Thanks S.J.
Didn't think I'd get much cheaper than them, as use them quite often.
Will give them a call when they open.
Thanks Jon
