I would make my own. You should be looking at a tune. To increase your OE fan RPM's - Oil & Speed settings. This will drop your temp about 10deg. What is your current temp? That makes you desire a HV pump.

I have had good results from flow cooler pumps.

..I ended up with a new Stewart's stage 1 pump which is a 30% higher flow pump , but it doesn't cool any better then a standard flow pump according to my temperture gauge...

Anything that has DIY or professional rebuild potential, the rebuild/repair should be considered before maybe the purchase of NEW from nearly almost anyone.

Preventative maintenance always been a fan of guilty of replacing stuff that aint broke myself
Sad thing is Id trust an old GM pump to any of the "replacements" out there. Today lifetime guarantee means replacing that part for a lifetime
Mfrs make different levels of quality take your time and search.
ie dont buy the cheapest one you find
Problem (ocd?) is where do you stop once the WP is off? opti? Timing chain? Radiator hoses ? LOL

That's maybe not as important as an already assembled component. You can check the quality of the pieces as a rule and you either "like or don't" which would maybe make them "keepers or returns". Exceptions maybe but I believe that should generally cover most components you or I might consider rebuilding.
