This may be wishful thinking, but I think aftermarket manufacturers realize the weak points, and make improvements on their own. For example, some water pumps, another part prone to failure on our cars, are made with steel impellers, rather than plastic.
I paid about $225 for labor, to have my fuel pump replaced, so I think $150 for labor is pretty good.
But if you have the time, do it yourself. When I found out how easy it was, I could have kicked myself.
