What ever you buy...and I have replaced a few...WASH the heater core before installation. My last one, I didn't. Once it was in operation, there was a terrible oil smell...I had to dismantle the job, wash the core's outside, and replace. There may be a light coating of oil on the outside of the heater core, so a wash with Simple Green or another de-greaser is whats in order. NOT THE INSIDE of the core...just the outside.

Unlike the 200/700/900 cars, changing out the heater core is fairly easy. Someone just bought and installed one for about $50. Neither of your options will leak in 5 years, so just look for price.

Make sure you get new O rings.

Nicely put. Try to not break the plastics in the firewall as I did.
