Water Pump Leaking - Recommendations?

Hello all,

When I built my car 6 years ago, I used a Weiand water pump (WND-9240P) purchased from Summit Racing. I just found a small puddle of antifreeze under the car, based on what I can currently see (I'll get it up on the lift tomorrow), I'm guessing that it's the water pump leaking. I just checked at Summit again, the pump gets pretty bad reviews for quality. I'm going to replace it, but don't want to use the same (crappy) one.

Can someone recommend a good replacement, preferably polished aluminum so it matches everything else? Thanks.
