Why? It's not like you're going to be able to find one that has a larger impeller or spins faster. The water pump housing is only so big. If you feel like your car is running too hot, upgrade the radiator.

As for the water pump, just get a $50 stock replacement and be done with it. It's probably leaking out of the weep hole, and not the gasket, so don't just reseal the old one.

LOL!!

Get a bigger water pump then stock so it can move the water faster? Does anyone recall that the speed of water circulation is governed by the THERMOSTAT?
