Only other criteria I'd offer are:
1) Ability to cope with wide range of temperatures (ie Mred at negative 20°C, or a passive rig with 50°C)
2) Ability to change the inlet/outlet barb sizes for 3/8", 7/16",1/2",5/8" tubing etc.
3) Ability to underclock/overclock by varying voltage (ie, good if it ran okay at 7v for my winter, and then I change it to run at 12v in summer).
4) Given you've got electronics, power, and easy access to the coolant, I've always thought the pump would be a good place to put a temperature probe and display. But then, I'm weird like that and I doubt the OEM would be interested.
