I see a fairly wide range of prices, so what's the best? or the best for the money?

Nissen 3 row all-metal (brass) from the PIC N PULL junkyard. I paid $35 each for the 3 that are on our 3 RWD volvos. Lasts for many years and many miles.
Just be sure to have them flushed and cored by a professional radiator shop before installation. They will be as new and you have the added feature that a shop can repair the brass. The aluminum OEM can only be thrown away as it is difficult to weld Aluminum.

The ones from Volvo, made by Blackstone. Nissens radiators are adequate, but definitely of lesser quality (hose barbs do not have metal reinforcements, plastic is thinner generally). The Volvo radiators are really not that much more expensive. Try ordering from a dealer like Tasca Volvo www.tascavolvoparts.com
