Wecome to DF
Get a new tensioner if you didn't get one already.Replace the fan belts and tensioner too. Has the water pump been leaking? If it has you may want to replace the crossover tube and both o-rings. Ck the cam seals for any oil leaks,now would be the time to replace them.

Go OEM, and use Silica free coolants(usually says on label, like Prestone, Peak)
If OEM is too expensive, i know a lot of independent shop mechanic Likes Gates or Dayco for belts and tensioner kit.
As for water pump, I've used Bosch New water pump on few cars, they aren't leaking yet.
stay away from those Re-man/rebuilt water pump!!!
