I was talking to my tuner about it. From what I remember, he said the ports your rad hoses connect to have a small I.D. and restrict flow a lot leading to bad cooling.

in comparison to oem...i'm not sure actually. it must be a little better, but that's not always the case with aftermarket as we've all found out at one point or another

If all you want is bling, I'd grab any of them.

Performance wise I know several people running turbo B series or what not with stock radiator setup just fine. Due to age though I'm personally tossing around getting like a Koyo radiator only $300 or so for one of those.

I ran a mishi full size on my accord one summer with no fans and the dam thing kept it cooler than the oem one did. They work fine, havent had issues with it.
