Skimmer Replacement pump Upgrade

So last week, I bought an MRC Ocean Force 200. Broke the impeller shaft, can't find parts, would have to buy a new pump.

I'm wondering if I should upgrade the pump to something else. The current pump specs are below. It's 50w @ 430gph, but I'm thinking I can probably get a better pump, and maybe should go more gph, less wattage (less heat)?

Let me know your thoughts and recommendations.

Thanks

i have an avast skimmer with the Sicce PSK1000 pump on it and i like it. there is supposed to be a new model the 2500 which is to replace the 1000 model and it is supposed to be even better, great pump for the money. i have also heard that the bubble blaster pumps are great but cost a lot more, and then there is the asktol, and red dragon but who can afford that.
