97 XJ replacement water pump

Does anyone have a suggestion on a non OEM replacement water pump manufacturer as well as vendor?

Autoparts Warehouse has about a dozen choices, which shall I go with?

Any experience with Flowkooler? Are the extra dollars and frills worth it?

I would go with the Bosch or Gates they are both top companys and are new pumps with no rebuilt parts in them.

The flowkooler does look like a good pump but I have never used it. Are you having high temp problems when at ideal or just wanting to upgrade? I would go with the upgraded pump with off road in mind, sorry didn't see the second choice on the first post.
