Default Water Pumps

Hello All. I have an 2006 vert and I'am changing the water pump this weekend. Any thoughts on the edlebrock water pump? What other water pumps are avaiable that are better than OEM?

Thanks

I bought the OEM from Parts Taxi at about $220 shipped. I'm not sure why my original started leaking but it's OK now with the replacement.

It's not uncommon to see DexCool eat away at GM pumps and gaskets after 4-5 years. I keep these in stock for just that reason.
