Default Car overheated and now need new radiator. Where to buy from?

Hello everyone.

First things first, forgive me if I've posted in the wrong forum section, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the Troubleshooting forum or this one. Anyways, I own a 2006 Hyundai Elantra GLS (2.0L L4, Automatic transmission, salvage). Just yesterday, my car overheated, and knowing a bit about cars, my attention was turned to the radiator. Upon inspecting this part I noticed signs of coolant leakage as well as damaged fins. Obviously, the only option of mine is to replace the part, and so I've decided to go ahead and purchase the replacement online. After browsing around for a bit, I narrowed the possible vendors list down to two that I may buy from. Before I go ahead and take the next step, however, I need to know if either company is in fact legitimate. Has anyone ever dealt with the following companies and can verify that they are legitimate? I've been scammed in the past, so I don't trust myself when it comes to this. (Sad, I know) Thanks in advance.

Local dealer should have 1 or 2 on shelf... though going to run you approx $370... But it is in a factory Hyundai box witih Hyundai part number on it

At least pick up an OE thermostat and gasket at Hyundai dealer.. the 4 cylinder loves to eat thermostat and cooling system.. DO NOT allow the 2.0 to overheat, you'll ruin the head or toast the motor, see it all the time.
