best source for water pump?

My water pump is starting to leak out the weep hole.

Are dealer pumps better than the rest, i.e. Auto Zone, NAPA?

Why does NAPA charge more for remans and than new ones? Are the new ones all junk?

GATES Part # 42004 $28.00 shipped from rockauto.com. or $30 from ebay shipped (if your shipping quote is over 30 from rockauto).

Can't go wrong with a new gates water pump. Thermostat should be done too if it has't been done recently.

Bought an Omix Ada...high end item I thought, but it's actually a USMotorworks sourced pump. Good quality though.
