Default Water Pump??

I need a new water pump.

Do I;

a.) Autozone:

DURALAST-NEW Water Pump for a 1987 Chevrolet Corvette
Unit Price: $48.99
Core Value*: $0.00
Part No.: CWP-595
Weight: 5.7 lbs.
Warranty: LLT

Or

B: NAPA NEW WATER PUMP:
Item#: NWP555016
Price: $61.99

Is there a difference or does it not matter??

Your opinions would be helpful. As would any nuggets of knowledge that might help. About how much time would you expect it to take a reasonably competent shade tree mechanic. (That'd be my brother, I'm almost usless under the hood)

Look closely at the 2 pumps. I bet 1 or both are gm pumps with the part number ground off. Many companies rebox them. My Airtex pump is gm.

So the cheaper one has a warranty, and the other doesn't?

That would make it easy for me.
