Default Water pump

Put the car away for the winter since we are supposed to get 7 inches of snow. I need to change the water pump as it’s making a noise and with the car having 189000 miles on it. Well it’s about time. Is there any certain brand you guys would recommend I use or that I should stay away from. Thank you.

My 1999 has 45K miles and I just changed out my Water Pump to a new Gates 45002. $78 from RockAuto. No Issues.
