Default Replacing Water Pump - Any Suggestions?

L-48 is being rebuilt to a reasonable 300 - 325 HP. I'm having the gents at Van Steel take care of me. Any suggestions for a water pump that will serve my current and future purposes?

Just about anybodys aluminum pump - I'm presently running a reman pump built by TRW - its alum and has a black powdercoat finish - I have purchased an aluminum pump from DirtTrackThunder.com for my rebuild - the casting is too terribly pretty, but we will see how it works.
