Default Radiator Needed

I've got ATF in my radiator and water in my auto transmission. So I guess my first step is to replace the radiator and then get the trans dried out. What is a good brand of radiator to go with. This is my daily driver with no hard use.

For a daily driver, can't go wrong with the oem replacement. Ordered mine off jegs.com. Took two hours to replace

Default Radiator

Thanks for the input. I'm going to use an OEM GM radiator. This one lasted 13 years. Good enough.
