Opinions on radiator brands?

The radiator on my '94 Aero has a small crack in the plastic where the to radiator hose comes in, and weeps a little coolant now and then.
I've tried various ways of patching it (JB Weld, for example), to no avail. It looks like I'll have to replace the radiator. It looks like Eeuroparts carries 2 types for my car, one is the Nissens and the other is a Valeo. The one on my car has "Blackstone" stamped on the top of it.
Anyone have an opinion/experience with the Nissens vs. the Valeo unit? How does the quality, durability, and cooling capacity compare between the two?
I have read that the Valeo may or may not be the same as the Blackstone, or that Blackstone may actually make the radiators for Valeo. Can anyone confirm this?
In exchange, I'd be happy to post, with pictures, a write up on replacing the radiator. Yeah, I know it's a pretty simple job, but one write-up with pictures can prevent a hundred forum questions. Besides, I believe in giving back to the community :)
Cheers!
Ben
