Default RX330 Radiator - OEM or after market?

I've been advised that I need to replace my radiator - and I wanted to know if anyone has installed an after-market radiator and if so, which one and what has your experience been?

Had ours replaced when we bought it last month. Dealership worked it into the deal. They used aftermarket. No issues yet.
