Default 1985 Corvette water pump question.

I need to replace the water pump on my 1985.
Any particular brand to buy or avoid?
I think I'd seen some as aluminum and iron and some high volume, don't know which I'd need.
Also seen some that say "mounting studs not included" not sure why you wouldn't use the existing ones.
I think I might as well change the tensioner as well.
Car has 108K miles on it.

Thanks.

I changed mine on my 85, last summer. Bought aluminum from Car Quest and painted it clear before installing it. No problem at all.
