Default 5.3 LS water pump recommendations

Hi all, my 2002 5.3 LM7 water pump just started leaking a small amount of coolant on the floor of the garage, so I assume it's needing replacement. I have looked on ebay, and there are a large number of pumps at wildly varying prices.

As these 5.3's are not common here in New Zealand, and I can't buy it locally, I need to be sure that what I am buying is going to be a quality unit.

Does anybody have any recommendations on which pump to purchase, and where is best on-line to order from? Any advice and direction will be greatly appreciated.

Russell, give the guys at WS6store a call. They are sponsors/vendors here, and can help you by either selling you a pump VERY reasonably, or pointing you in the right direction.
Cheers Mate!

Thanks guys for the recommendations. I have ordered a AC Delco Original Equipment from Amazon, who were very competitive on pricing.
