Is it better to have the plastic impeller shred and scatter all over your cooling system? You know, block entire cylinder head cooling ports... you know, stuff like that.
Pick your poison.
OR, a third option. Change your plastic water pump every 15,000 miles.

It will be making noise, but may not be leaking. Mine was not leaking even though it had been rubbing for a while.
