I'm assuming you have the cast iron water pump...
Personally, if your engine is stock or mild, I'd just get a standard rebuilt water pump and normal 160-180 degree T-stat (if yours needs maintenance; temp depends on location and climate)....I've run performance vehicles for years (including the race car) with OEM pumps and parts with no problems.
Keeping a good coolant package on board and keeping air out of the system with a properly functioning radiator cap and overflow recovery get top billing in my book, as long as the rest of the parts are in good shape...
