Default Replacement water pump

What brand is everyone using? Mine is about to take a **** and was just quoted $270 for an AC Delco replacement

Not interested in electric pumps either, just a suitable stock replacement

Thanks!

Damn, the LT1 version is much cheaper.

I've used a Duralast waterpump for a couple years on a car I had before, no issues. I think their LT1 water pumps are garbage, might be different for the LS pumps.
