I've had outstanding luck with parts house water pumps no matter what the brand (& heard of very few comebacks). You'll be fine.

I had a almost brand new (1 month old)'good' brand water pump self destruct on my 4.7 truck 2 years ago destroyed the radiator, shroud, AC condenser fan shroud/assembly. Fan blade, clutch and the waterpump pulley went bouncing and skipping across the highway never to be found. Kind of amazing it did not sever the transmission cooler or PS lines on its way out. Left a nice gouge on the frame rail.
OEM replacement water pump (NOT the value line stuff) "made in china"
Toss up between AZ and Advance, the advance one said 'assembled in USA, parts from china, mexico, italy and USA.
The AZ one looked almost identical but was "made in china" like the OEM one.
with a coupon I went with the advance one, fingers crossed its been ok for the last two years. As always like most parts anymore from the store give it a once over before the money changes hands.
