Default Coolant from Hell!!......help

Ok so I have been running around in my stang with the smell of coolant everytime I run it hard. Thought it was my heater core hoses leaking because I saw them leak. There was a clamp on there to slow the leak which work until I drove it hard.

After a healthy drive I started spewing coolant everywhere from the back of the engine. It came out as fast as I poured it in. I replaced my hoses thinking that was it. Didn't fix the problem. I then tore the top of the engine off to find out it was the heater tube. Had a large hole in the back from rust.

Ok so I finally get that fixed and start the car up. Runs perfect for one day. The I notice I have a huge coolant leak under the front of the car. Damn......

My water pump is leaking from the bottom seal. So looking online I see there are many different kinds.

What should I get?

Electric, pulley driven?

What does reverse pulley drive mean? Would I need a new belt for that one?

What is good.

Please help. Because I am about to purchase one and there are too many choices.

Thanks
