Water pump aluminum/iron

Looking at getting a new water pump but I've heard getting one with a cast aluminum impeller is the way to go as it does not erode in the coolant.

I checked rock auto but none of them specify which material the impeller is made of.  Any recommendations on a pump?

You might be thinking of stamped steel versus cast iron.  I've never seen an aluminum impeller.  

Compare the AISIN and Airtex pictures to the others. I think that most people like the cast impellers.  They were hard to find for a few years but it looks like they're back.
