Default power steering pum

I was just wondering, after visiting my local mechanic, if any of you have had experience with aftermarket power steering pumps? I guess, my steering pump on my 95 is leaking. The quota for fixing it, is $750. sooo...any options, suggestions, comments, free pumps, Christmas gifts, chocolate.. I mean anything. Thanks guys. Hope you all are having nice holidays.

My mechanic bought the seals for my power steering and repalced them over a 100,000 miles ago and no problems and cost around 260.00 to 300.00 dollars repaired. Also after you change out the pump or fix the old one get a small fluid pump at the local parts store and every 25,000 miles suck out the fluid replace it run the car then do it again at least 4-5 times to completely replace the old fluid. You can use dexron 3 transmission fluid or even better yet use mobil one synthetic trans fluid it helps the system last longer.
