Gates vs oem water pump

I see the gates water pump from lancer shop is 58 bucks but the oem one is close to 200. Clearly I will go with the cheaper route if it's a better deal but not if it's a junk pump. Has anyone used this water pump before?

Even if you hop across to Ebay, there is a brand called GMB which is Japanese made and last time I checked, Mitsubishi is a Japanese made car.
