I'd stay closed - there's nothing wrong with the system. Consensus is that most people who advocate the conversion are people who just needed to change radiators anyhow - which is where you already are. OEM RENIX radiators, I am informed, have a typical service life of 150-180Kmiles.
I've had great good luck with Modine and with Performance Radiator - I've heard that GDI is slipping lately, but CSF is a brand I haven't gotten a lot of negative reports from the field yet, either.
Swapping the radiator proper is not difficult - just keep it flushed (flush the system and change coolant every two years.) Get all new hoses (upper/lower radiator and heater hoses...) and check your water pump for leaks. I'd also suggest changing the thermostat while you're about it - it's cheap enough, and easy enough. Do it after you do the flush (flush the system before you change the radiator - the old radiator will collect crud, and you'll be taking it out of the system with the unit.)
Take the old radiator to the local scrap metal yard - it's copper, and you'll get a few bucks for it.
Also, search up my posts on drilling the thermostat, which you do to make the RENIX system purge itself of air (without intervention from you.) It makes the job a LOT easier to do! If you don't change the thermostat, typical method of purging air effectively is to lift the rear of the vehicle (until the engine is tilted forward) and loosen the temperature sensor at the rear of the cylinder head. Keep adding coolant until it comes out past that sensor steadily, and then tighten it back up. Drilling the thermostat is a lot easier (and works better than the "bleeder hole" in the OEMR units, I think...)
If you're offered a choice between radiators for automatic transmission and standard transmission, I'd get the automatic (even if you have a stuck.) The automatic is designed to exchange head a little more efficiently (because it had to handle the thermal load from both the engine and the transmission...) Most aftermarket radiators are designed for automatics anyhow, tho...
