ETS 3.5'' FMIC
This is what I run and advise other people to run. No one can beat ETS quality and customer service.

Agreed. Some of the above mentioned brands are re-badged 'ebay' cores anyway. The difference between cheap and quality is the amount of surface area within the core. The cheaper cores boast low pressure drop but can not match the actual heat exchange numbers of Garrett, Ron Davis, Bell.
