1.4 E7J - Water Pump Manufacturerer Recommendation Request

I'll be changing my Megane's timing belt (and tensioner) in a couple of months and I'm planning to change the water pump as a matter of course.

The engine's done 100K miles and is on its second timing belt. I changed the first timing belt at 57K miles a couple of years ago and didn't replace the water pump back then so I'm 99% certain that it's still on its first pump. There are no current issues with coolant loss but I'd prefer to change the pump rather than have it fail.

Anyway, I've been shopping around for new pumps - does anyone have any experience of water pumps made by FAI (the part number is WP3228 and they're available for around £30)? Or is it advisable to pay the extra and get a pump from Renault? Are there any other makes that are recommended/to be avoided? Who makes the pumps for Renault?

Cheers
Chris
