Radiator replacement options?

I have a leak somewhere and I'm thinking that my radiator might have a hole it. I'll post pics after I get it out of the car. Anyway, where is the best place to get a good radiator that won't leak after installation? In the past I installed an Autozone heater core only to have to replace it with a GM, and I'm leery about buying from the Zone. So for those that have replaced theirs, let me know what you installed?

you can get an OEM, or you can get an all aluminum one from a sponsor. THe Griffins and the like usually run around $450 or so

"Be Cool" seems to be the best ones from what I've heard.

radiator and airbag system

When I remove the radiator, can I do it without messing with the airbag system. Did you guys disarm the airbag system when you removed the radiator? BTW, I'm working with a LT1.
