I'm in about the same boat with my annual due this month. Since I have
nasty IFR here in the Great Lakes region, the vacuum pump is going to get
replaced for sure. I'm tempted by the dual pump and the wet pump, but they
are both really expensive, and I don't fly enough to justify it.

I have the dual-rotor vacuum pump from aeroadvantage.com and I'm happy with it.
It's going to cost you about $1000 but you keep your existing, working pump, so
you have a backup in the baggage compartment. If you replace your pump with the
standard pump, it's going to cost you a good fraction of that, and you'll have
to turn in your old pump. Get the dual-rotor pump.
