Default radiator dilemma

I need a radiator but I am not sure if I should go with the original Volvo plastic radiator through Tasca or get an after market one made out of metal. They both cost around $180. I like the idea of having a metal one instead of a plastic one but the plastic one that I would be getting is the original and not a cheap after market one.

The OEM radiator is just fine, it lasts usually around 20 years with god maintenance... That's what I put in my cars.

Thanks lev, do you happen to know who manufactures the ones from Volvo. I assume they are better quality than the after market ones available everywhere.
