Replacement Power Steering Pump

I have a 1996 Z28 and the power steering pump is leaking, not a lot, but enough that it really bothers me. Anyway, any suggestions on the brand of replacement pump (I was looking at the Cardone's through Rock Auto)? Also, do you think that it would be wise to go ahead and replace all of the P/S fluid lines when I do this? The car only has 33K miles on it.

Thanks!

Don't know if they still make the aluminum pulley though and Speed Inc. seems to be out of stock on them. Mine looks like this:

OK, thanks. I wasn't clear on the Turn One pump, I may just wait a while and go with one of those.

I recently got a turnone pump from rock auto and it looks good. I also replaced all the lines while I was in there.

I had to make a tool to remove the pulley but it wasnt too bad. I thought about getting an aftermarket pulley like Rob94hawk has but really you cant see the pulley whatsoever when everything is installed, so I just ended up painting my original one and calling it good.

NM I got the Atsco pump from rockauto
