Most recognizeable brands selling an alum aftermarket rad for wrx's are all the same unit, just at a higher price. Only a few rad that actually are better, like a $300-ish koyo R-model.
Just make sure that you get the right model for yours (whether it had the cap on It or not, like the current one.) keeps the install simpler. And remember to retain the proper, staggered-pressure cap setup...
Ya, ebay ones work perfectly fine. I have one in mine. No problems so far. Also, make sure you don't get one that's too thick, or you'll be fighting the radiator hoses and cooling fans... Meaning you'll have to do some trimming so it all fits right.
