I love my Fluidyne. I hate FedEx for bending some of the fins though.

Afco sells a nice dual pass for $225 in several sizes with both outlets on the passenger side.
It's 2.5" thick and solid aluminum. Requires a bit of fab work to mount, but substantially cheaper than a Koyo and Fluidyne and thicker to boot.

By fab work, I mean some meta stock to bend into bracket and drill holes. No welding really required unless you want to get fancy.

Unless this is a race car, there are no real-world reliability advantages from an all-metal radiator. A new OEM radiator would last just as long as the first one did, i.e. it'd most likely outlast the car. The only reason not to buy one is if you can get an all-metal direct replacement cheaper than an OEM one, which I believe you can...
