Water pump you will want to raise the engine to gain access to the water pump. I suggest you use a metal impeller replacement and not a plastic one like the factory original.
Pros: metal impeller replacement
Cons: plastic factory original

Me and various others I know have used GMB water pumps before with no issues.
Pros: no issues
We used to install gates pump and belt kits, but saw too many leaking water pumps well before they were due for another belt. Switched to aisin kits and haven't had a problem.
Pros: no problems with Aisin
Cons: leaking water pumps
Pierburg water pumps are known to be good for about 60-80k, which is the usual time they fail (they either leak or the electronics inside fail).
Pros: reliable for 60-80k
Cons: prone to leak/electronics fail
Vehicle:

Bought an Aisin waterpump off ebay and installed during the swap but it is making an awful racket and has me concerned it is a fake or otherwise defective out the box. Not sure how to share a video here but it sounds like a loud buzzing and i dont remember the old waterpump making that noise.
Cons: awful racket, loud buzzing, defective
My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately

Same crap on my 10 years old Merc with the cooling system. First reservoir, then water pump.
