Default Water Pump

I'm doing some motor work and quickly running out of money. I'm taking off the water pump to do the cam and don't want to put this old pump back on. What pump would be a good choice and not break my bank? I'm looking at the AC Delco and the GMB. Who makes the water pump for GM? Does anybody know? Thanx again guys.

One thing you might look at is the 2009 and later water pumps the outlet hose is on the drivers side vs passenger side and help working on the motor and heat to the intake tube goes away as the hot hose is not directly underneath. You would need a pump and a new hose.
