Replacement radiator for 96 corolla dx

Trying to replace the radiator on my 96 Corolla DX L4 1.8.
13 years on the original radiator.

Looking at autozone, only one available for this model is the Spectra Premium. Anybody have experience with this radiator? I'm concerned if it will have a good fit (fan and the transmission lines) and the quality of it.

or any suggestion for other radiator? I normally dont mind spending little more for better quality part. But the thing is... it is an old car, commuter car, and I would like to limit the part to under 200 dollars.

Thinking out loud, I probably should also replace the upper and lower hoses, and thermostat. If you guys think there are more preventive things to replace while doing this job, please help by pointing them out.

Thank you.

SPI radiators are fine, just like OEM pretty much, we've not had any fitment issues at our shop with their products, we buy direct from them so we do get one notch up from the parts store quality.
