I bought a VIA 1300 for $11 recently and been very happy with it. It runs silent and cool. I got my KingPin block and my GF4 440 Pin block in the loop with it with a XP1700+@1800mhz running 24/7 crunching D.F running nice and cool with a 120mm fan with a resistor turning it down to 8volts.

I also have a HydroThruster 500GPH pump which has balls but runs way to hot and at 200ish watts it added $18 a month to the power bill. It does heat the water up beyond it's usefullness at full speed. It has a speed control on it and turning it all the way down actually LOWERS the temps by 4C!!!

I also have a VIA 2600 I got for $22 but havn't used it.

Got a few other pumps not worth discussing.
