I would personally go with oem. They're not that expensive but very labor intensive to do so, buy once, cry once type thing.

When I did mine, OEM heater core was $400. It is a beefy piece of copper. All aftermarket ones I found were all aluminium and made in china. I was changing an evap core and after careful inspection and cleaning I reused the OEM one.

Is your heater core leaking? Any signs of corrosion in radiator that would suggest similar corrosion in heater core?

I used a NAPA evap core. It looked like the OEM one and weighed about the same.

The evap core worked fine for the 2+ years I ran it. Was still blowing cold when I sold the jeep.

Pics of changing evap core are here: http://www.jeepingben.net/zen/zenphoto/index.php?album=2013/XJ evaporator core
