Gen1 01 Radiator replacement

So i got an 01 solara sle with 86k on it and i noticed sat morning it dripping. I get under it tonight and see that at the drivers side bottom of the radiator where the lower hose is that its leaking very slowly where the aluminum clamps to the plastic (if this makes any sense?) It also has a lot of corrosion in that area from leaking for some time. So i am going to need a replacement and wondered if anyone had gone thru this before and recommended a descent radiator and what is recommended for replacement? Would a napa or pep boys radiator work ok or what? I seriously doubt a toyota replacement is affordable but i am going to buy toyota coolant and just want to be sure i do everything that i should do when i replace it.

Thanks a lot everyone

I think toyota would be a "OK" price. I have had pretty good luck getting parts from them . Ie, corner markers ligt, main fuel line, fuel filter, PCV valve. All at aabout the same price or lower than those guys.
