I'm not an expert in this area. I believe the composite impeller is OEM.
Composite
Pro won't chew up block if bearing goes bad
Con Could break and leave pieces stuck in cooling channels causing hot spots and additional damage
Metal
Pro won't break into pieces
Con, could chew up block if bearing goes bad rendering block unusable.
Some consider the WP a consumable and replace at XX miles or XX years.
