Vacuum pump question...

So I want to replace the vacuum pump on the SDL before it grenades. The gasket is leaking and I figure after 317000 miles it is time.

My question is given the price being the same, which pump would you put in YOUR car? The Hella or the Pierburg? They both are the updated version with sealed bearings and the four screw covers.

Does anybody know of a quality difference between these two pumps?

Thanks!!

AFAIK, Pierburg is the only supplier for that vehicle.
