Default water pump recomendations

I see a few different options, Uro, Geba, for starters, are there any big differences besides price? are there any better options?

Looking for recommendations before I tear down for belts and rollers.

Thanks, Greg

Nobody has a preference for a water pump?

Get a remanufactured unit from Zim's Autotechnik.
All I've ever used on my car and those of many dozens of customers who I have done work for.

I replaced my early style pump with a Geba pump. I've only run the car for a couple hundred miles since but everything has worked fine thus far. I'm not sure about water pumps but I know Uro quality can be questionable with some other parts such as oil pressure sensors.

I bought an installed a URO before I found out about the Zimms ones.

It's fine thus far, but 18 months and 3000 miles doesn't really tell you much.

I got a Uro from Rockauto for $100 since they're what Zims sells as new now. Came with a gasket, plastic housing, and o-ring too. Haven't installed yet though.

The Uro wp seem to be fine. I've been running one on my daily driver for a while now.

Reman kit from Porsche. Gasket, nuts, washers, bolts, thermostat, front plastic fitting and o-ring. Can't beat that for the price, zero issues too. I have probably put in 100 so far, not exaggerating about that number either
