Good morning,
I attached the brands from rockauto for you to view. All the brands I listed are good as long as they are new, not re-manufactured.
Do not use the Cardone pump. That is not new.

Removal and Installation
1. Drain the cooling system.

6. CAUTION: Do not rotate the coolant pump housing once installed in the engine. Damage to the O-ring seal can occur, causing the coolant pump to leak.
NOTE: Install a new O-ring seal and lubricate with the clean engine coolant.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
7. Fill and bleed the cooling system.

I did not get the list of the brands.

It is in the first attachment I sent you. I just opened it up and the pumps and brands are there.
Motorcraft would be my first choice.
