For the price difference buy new instead of reman.
I've had quality issues with reman parts more often than not.
Check the studs/ bolts over carefully, In my experience they can be prone to corrosion. I just swapped my pump over the weekend and 2 of the longer studs snapped off without much effort. I ended up knackering the timing cover and I pulled 3 or 4 of them at the salvage and they all had quite rusty hardware. (replaced with some grade 8 bolts from the local hardware)
