If you get a stock radiator of high quality (without plastic if you think it will play on your mind) and silicone hoses, new jubilee clips. You will know youre safe for a while. If I was doing it I would spend my money on replacing things which could fail like the stat rather than a larger rad. Especially on a daily driver.
If you get to so much performance you need a larger radiator, you will already be many thousands deep so upgrading just the radiator alone won't hurt you so bad.
