Replacing Radiator , What else?

Decided to replace my radiator with this <non-sponsor link removed> (thoughts on this one ?)
I will also be replacing my thermostat since it is bad.
Should I go ahead and replaces the hoses? Anything else?

Thanks guys

If the hoses are more than a few years old, I'd replace them. It's what, about $60 for both hoses and you already have the system drained. If the water pump has over 75,000 miles, me personally I'd go ahead and replace it too.

Oh, also take a few minutes to flush the heater core as long as you have the system drained. I think that's pretty much everything that touches antifreeze to do while you have it drained.
