It would depend on the size and efficency of each. Heatercores are usualy less restrictive, and offer excelent cooling, Radiators often have very dense fins, that can be restrictive for air passing thru. I would probably pick a Heater core (actualy I am using one now) but i guess it really depends on what the radiator looked like.

Heater cores are better then most of the rads you can buy on line for water cooling. Now if you have a huge car rad that is almost a foot or two long, then that of course would cool better than a heater core b/c of all the surface area, but the downfall is that it would greatly affect your water flow.

yeah, something like a car radiator would cool better than a heatercore, but for their size, heatercores perform extremely well...
