What brand power steering pump?

What brand or where are people getting power steering pumps? I have a 69 442 with a 455 for reference. I can only find Cardone (will never buy again, went through 11 yes 11 on one vehicle until one finally barely made it out of the warranty window), BBB which is owned by Cardone, and Lares which I have heard are also hot garbage. OPGI has one but I have had really bad luck actually getting any parts from them in less than a year. Thanks for any input.

I want to buy one off the shelf, I have a ton of project ahead of me and don't want to spend time digging through yards to find one (I am manual now), send it off to be restored, etc.

Hector Carrillo (Carhex) sells rebuilt units including quick ratio boxes. He's got an ebay page and can be found easily on Facebook too. Great communication, good pricing and quick turn around. Got a quick ratio box for my '70 from him.

Yet somehow I have a 56 year old power steering pump on my 68 442 that works absolutely fine....

I would call Hector Carrillo as well. He seems to mostly sell quick ratio boxes but I've never heard anyone complain about him
