What are the recommended water pump solutions these days?

Edelbrock, Weiand?

Any data on an affordable short water pump, that performs well?

I have a Weiand Team G on mine. Works fine...but actually the stock iron one did too. But the alumium one is cooler looking!

One thing to look out for is that many of the race type ones need some of the Moroso pulley shims to get pulleys aligned.
