Since it sounds like you want this water pump to last quite a long time without leaking, I'd go with a factory pump, especially considering what a royal PITA it is to replace on a 9-5. Aftermarket ones rarely last half as long as a factory pump, and with a factory pump, you'll get the genuine o-rings, and a pair of copper washers for the turbo's water line. Also make sure to use a factory u-shaped hose, because the aftermarket ones seem to be a little tight. It's true that you can't get to the lower radiator hose if you're just replacing the water pump. The radiator needs to come out if you're doing that. The radiator comes out fairly easily, though, so it might not be such a bad idea if you think the hose is old or soft.
