Copper(brass) or aluminum

I need a new radiator. I see 2 types for sale. The aluminum single core, and the copper(brass) three core. Which will cool a 350/auto/A/C car better?

if you car is basically stock, either radiator is fine. if you get the griffen universal 31x19 with 1" tubes its a almost a direct fit, just need to move your heater return line to the water pump instead of to the radiator, and you can re-use your upper mount, you can't use the upper mount with the 1.25" tubes.
