Hey guys i am going to change out my waterpump, tstat, and timing belt. The car has 115k currently.

I was wondering how many miles did everyone else go on the radiator and hoses before they crapped out? Should I go ahead and change it while I am doing the other things.

Radiators are replaced when you start to see leaks. It's pointless to replace them if you don't see any leaks.

Hoses are up to you. If the hoses are bowed out on either end, time to replace them.

Mine had a small crack forming on the top tank @ 126k. I drove around 2 days without loosing much coolant before replacing. I do not advise doing the same.
I didn't put an aluminum one in but a cheap aftermarket replacement which is doing well
