I'd prefer an all-aluminum,
Here's what I bought almost 3 years ago, IIRC. It's a little thicker than stock so I trimmed the cowl back and split a fuel line hose to seal/insulate it to the radiator. You can search here for whatever one fits your application. Nice clean welds and looks good.I agree I dont care for the plastic either.

You can barely see the filler neck and other connections for overflow, heater core, and trans cooler. It came with an oil cooler on the other side but, I don't have one.
