Radiators - copper or alloy?

Please oh please, not another thread on OAT:o

One great feature of copper radiators is that they can be repaired in the bush with a blow torch and soldering iron.

On the site selling the copper core radiators it says you must also buy a resistor - I guess this takes care of the potential electrolysis problems? Does that then make it compatible with OAT?

(and no I'm not interested in the Oat vs Green glycol debate - I've made my decision....:)).
Thanks

OK Ok Thanks guys. As you were:)

Interesting that all the old ranges and v8 110's had a copper radiator cooling their all alloy v8 engines.
