e36 Radiator Recommendations?



Hi everybody,

I have a '96 328is with 90,000 on the clock and a slowly cracking radiator neck.  I'm going to replace the radiator for sure but I've got a few questions before I do.

Does anyone have recommendations about what brand to buy?
- -www.bimmerparts.com shows 3 different brands besides OEM. Nissen, Cooling Systems & Flex, and Behr.

Does anyone know where I could get an all aluminum radiator?  Is it worth it?  (I do drive hard occasionally and autox/track during the summers)

Do you recommend changing the hoses while I'm in there?  (I just did the fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, and belts.)

Thanks everyone!
