I have heard a lot of great things about Hepu, and a few not great things about non-OE water pump gaskets/seals. Although, I have a slight suspicion that many of the gasket/seal issues were user error, rather than manufacturer error.

I make 1-2 dealer orders per month from Tasca or Volvo of Lisle, so I just tossed the Volvo WP in my last order (pads/rotors for my '90 245 and '98 XC). It was $20 more than the Hepu, and I feel more safe with the gaskets/seals. Perhaps I will send Art a picture or four of the Volvo unit, from the same perspectives, for comparison on his site.

I prefer ordering parts from the dealer, especially since online dealers are so affordable ($30/rotor, including new caliper bolts!). If I continue supporting Volvo OE parts, perhaps they will keep making them :)
