water pump

I have to have my water pump replaced tomorrow. My questions is, I’m buying the water pump at Autozone, but can I go with the standard water pump, or do I need to heavy duty one? Both fit my car, so is there a big difference? The price difference is about $20, and the heavy duty one uses “ROLLER BEARINGS AND A CERAMIC SEAL FOR INCREASED DURABILITY”. What do you think? Save my $20, or good investment?

I usually buy parts based on how long I plan on keeping the car, how hard the part was to reach and work on, and price combined. If you plan on keeping the car a while and its a pain to reach and deal with, I would spend the 20 bucks more and get the better one. Or if the car has issues and is constantly needing repair, as some of mine have in the past, save your money for the problems yet to come...

True. It is a pain in the butt, and I don't feel like replaceing again anytime soon. I think I'll spend that extra $20.
