Water Pump Suggestions 200 1993

I was changing my accessory belts a few days ago (badly cracked) and notcied a few things about my water pump. (Car has Electric cooling Fan)

There is no lateral play in the shaft
THere is about 1/16" of axial play in the shaft, (in & out)
The shaft does not spin freely, it makes a squeaky noise when I rotate it by hand. It sounds as if the shaft seals are squeaking on the shaft.

Should the pump shaft spin for a few revs after its given a good twist?

Before winter I am planning on replacing the radiator, Timing Belt, front seals, and possible tensioner. Something tells me I should replace the WP. I am thinking about purchasing the Volvo Unit.

Thoughts?
