Supercharger pump?

Ok guys, time to replace the coolant pump (2013 coupe). I see different ones for sale and like most things I assume there's better options than stock. Car is otherwise stock... Which one is the go to for plug and play? Any tips on the install or a how to?? Thanks!!

When I replaced mine the Pierburg cwa 50 was the go to. Now I think the Pierburg cwa 150 is the one to go to now unless you are going to do a trunk tank.
I jumped the gun and went Varamax, If I were to get another one, like @PGA2B said, I would go with a pump in the Pierburg line.

I installed the Pierburg CWA 100 pump, direct bolt-in, plug and play (with the adapter harness) to complement the C&R heat exchanger as a result of increasing boost with a smaller upper pulley.

However if you're not anticipating spinning the supercharger any faster and replacing the stock intercooler, I'd just get an inexpensive replacement pump.

And it plugs right up to existing wiring etc?
Mont Motorsports sells a kit.

I have this pump from ZZP, plug and play and fits in stock bracket. Seems similar to me as the stock unit. A lot cheaper than OEM though and a drop in upgrade:

I just picked up an under the hood tank, Pierburg pump and Weapon X track attack heat exchanger. Still waiting for UPS to deliver the HX and as soon as it gets here, i'll throw all the stuff on. The Pierburg is plug and play.
I had a bad experience with the ZZP Pump. The power connector will not properly retain the plug, the connector is not molded correctly and too small. ZZP did not seem to care about it.
