Default Favorite aluminum radiator?

need new radiator. My cheap 15 year old has failed.

Best bang for buck.

Also i had difficulty finding one (alum) 15 years back that was stock fitment. 84 Vette 4+3. I think 4+3 was confusing for vendors.

I am running a pretty healthy 383 and the stock radiator does just fine.

When my stock radiator died earlier this year, I went with a DeWitts.

I looked at DeWitts and while they are definitely a very nice radiator, they were a little too high in price for me. I ended up purchasing an American Eagle 2 row 1" tubing aluminum radiator. I had to modify the shroud to get it to fit in there but I got it working. It didn't solve my overheating problem though. It ended up being air in the system. And that air didn't want to come out with the traditional ways of bleeding...
