Water Pump again? Recommended Brand(s) ?

It's been about 10,500 miles since I replaced the water pump in my 1999 SE 2.3lpt. Traces of liquid on the garage floor a week ago, and no time to look at it until this morning before work. On cold start there was a very slight 'ringing' (bearing?) noise until engine warmed, along with more liquid on floor and SID message to add coolant. An underhood visual and noise check, and it looks like I need another WP. The one that's in there now is a HEPU. I have ordered a Graf - but I'm not sure there's any safe choice out there, unless eight months is a long life.
I considered the AC Delco pump - but it would have taken a little longer to get here. From comments on the thread below I am not very certain. I will likely seek out some fancy O-rings for better heat resistance. My worst fear is that they all come from one factory . . . . . in different boxes.
