Which Radiator should I buy?

I have a 2000 civic LX d16y7 (auto) and my radiator is leaking. Anyone have any advice on which brand of radiator I should buy? Majestic Honda says that they sell a DENSO for about $200, but the same unit can be found for about $65 on other sites. I'm thinking I'll probably by a DENSO, but I wanted to ask this forum before I make my purchase. My car is completely stock, so I don't need anything fancy, but I want a quality part that will last for 10 years. Any advice is appreciated.

If you want it to last get an OEM one. If Denso makes them then get a Denso one. You already know it will last 10 years if the one in the car is original.

There are probably decent aftermarket ones but I like to be safe.

I'd get an OEM one too to be honest, especially if you have an automatic transmission, which you do.
