Ordering GSR radiator for B18C1 swap - do I want a plastic/aluminum or copper/steel?

I found this on Ebay, planning on a Integra radiator for my EG hatch -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...34530

- the description says I have a choice between plastic tanks/aluminum core or "metal" ??? and copper core.

What's better? Why?

OEM Honda radiators are plastic and aluminum right?

Thanks in advance.

a friend of minds had a plastic one....the radiator cork screw on the bottom...tends to mess up as the thread gets worn out..when u drain the coolant...better to go wit aluminum or any metal radiators..
