Default Graf or Aisin water pump?

I am buying parts for timing belt replacement/maintenance on my 2003 S80 T6. FCP Groton has two water pumps: Graf and Aisin. The second one is OEM. Which one should I get? Price difference is not a factor here as OEM is only $10 more.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I would suggest to go with OEM whenever possible....and for a $10 difference go with the OEM----->JMO

I personally have never heard of Graf, but I've had good luck with Aisin fan clutches and other products. Graf might be OK; Aisin definitely is, Volvo thinks so, too. 10 bucks is hardly ever a deal breaker. I'm with Patsfn2 on this one..
