I don't see where the OP stated pin holes. He said cores sprang leaks. Could be pin holes or other leak type

These are aluminum cores. Aluminum is low on the galvanic scale and will sacrifice to almost every automotive metal. I'm thinking electrically isolated is best for aluminum cores. Check for voltage in the coolant and if that is within spec for aluminum radiators should be good.
