Default Closed helm pump: which one to get?

It seems impossible to find a proper power steering pump for my motors (or a lot of$$$$). And am thinking that it may be cheaper and easier to just get a closed helm pump.
There's sooo many different makes and models out there and have no idea which one to get. Any ideas?

I'm running 502 MPIs and TRS outdrives. Need wing plates, but have rams and hoses are already run in the boat.

I will even trade too! I have an IMCO Helm with tilt, full hydraulic but needs a pump...Would trade this for a closed helm and some wing plates.

HELP!

What is the ID of the cylinders? Most likley you will wind up with a lot of turns lock to lock. I have always liked the Capilano helms.

I have a pair of really nice TRS Wing Plates with center tie bar mount provision. If you do go with a closed system I would be willing to trade them for the tilt helm.
