Default Getting a new radiator... help!

Pretty much my radiator got stoned to death (literally,friggin' rocks!!! GRRR!!!) andI need to get a new one - fast.Ordering online is not an option, I need my car running by Saturday. Pretty much I'm getting a new radiator either tomorrow or Friday and I need to know whatto look for in a good radiator. I know the thicker the better, anything else? Like what should it be made of or anything else? I'm most likely getting one from Advance Auto Parts, just because its close. I know very little about radiators... I know how they work, thats about the extent of my knowledge. Any tips?

Only issue with that is it'd probably be a used OEM radiator. I'm not paying for it so I might as well get something extremely nice. How's Mishimoto? I can get a 2" aluminum radiator and mishimoto 10" 10 blade can for $220. Should I go for it?
