Pumps are not created equally and cheap parts sources don't know this, because they don't live, eat and breathe engines.
So this may seem like an obvious question but does using the cheap pump create more clean up when pump #3, #4 is installed? Or are they 'clean' premature failures? If so it sounds like another reason not to go cheap.

which makes me wonder who would needlessly pay the premium. This doesn't seem like an item a person unfamiliar with wrenching would pick up.
