Default Koyo radiator? what's the difference?

I'm doing a little research cause I need a new radiator for my teg. What is the difference between a Koyo 100% aluminum DENSO/SHOWA and a Koyo Aluminum/Plastic DENSO or SHOWA Radiator. I'm really not into performance, car is only use for commuting, I just need to replace my leaky radiator. Want OEM quality at a reasonable price.
NOTE: Just checked my oem radiator, it says "showa, made in japan", what is the difference btwn showa and denso anyways?

thanks

i got an all aluminum radiator from radiatorbarn for $125 shipped. as far as i know the all aluminum are more durable than the plastic/aluminum ones. my radiator was leaking around the plastic area because it was cracked.

I went with an OE replacement from radiators.com. Good price and quality.
