Default coolant leaking

Yesterday when I got home from work I saw a puddle of green stuff. So when I popped the hood to see where it was coming from I see that it was leaking from the bottom portion of my radiator. I checked all my hoses and it seems fine.
I'm going to go get it checked today by a mechanic and see what he says. I'm thinking I probably need a new radiator.

I also heard that my radiator can be leaking because of my waterpump since I haven't changed that yet. I had a friend that replaced a radiator and timing belt, but didn't change the waterpump. After he sold it to my other friend he had to replaced the radiator again because he didn't change the waterpump. So I'm thinking I might need to replaced the waterpump too.

Do you guys know where I can get a good price on a radiator? Does it matter which brands I go for. Do I need to look for anything specific for a radiator?

I was looking into that and it would cost me $240. A lot more than I thought. My local auto parts store has one for $130, but I'm not sure of the quality of it.
