Are you asking about a direct replacement OEM pump.
If so, I called around until I found an AC Delco. It may have been the same as all others but it made me feel better.
If you're asking about electric, as supplemental or full time, there are a number of choices but I would suggest you look for Ken Hendersons write up in the archives.

To clarify: The mechanical pump, a booster pump, or replacing with electric?
There is a prior thread about a replacement mech pump that has a return line that is supposed to help with vapor lock
Re: Delco pumps: Delco name used to insure a certain level of quality. Recent experiance hasnt born this out for me, especially with electrical items
My .02 on electrical pumps: THe carter low pressure pumps seem to work out better on RV applications. Whn I was a tech, many OEMS were using Holly red or blue pumps, and had to change many out
I run a Mech pump with a carter booster. Works well. But only used to prime the sytem or on hot days to prevent vapor lock
There is the concern that an electic pump running into a ruptured diaphram would leak into the engine and dilute the oil. Not usre if the bypass type pump would prevent that.
