Cooling System Components

Well I have a bad coolant leak, and decided to replce the components to my cooling system. Basically i want to get a Fluidyne radiator and Aluminum AST and replace the upper/lower radiator hoses. Is there anything else I should replace?

A couple of people have had bad experiences with turbo coolant hoses lately. I think DamonB recently had one go bad.

I had one rupture years ago when I hadn't had the car very long. Now I replace them once a year or so. It's crazy I know but they're cheap and if I'm doing other work in there I just replace them.
