Get a good quality flexplate. The cheap imported ones seem to break easily.

Eldelbrock water pumps look nice and are high quality.

I would recommend a Stewart Stage 1 or a Stage II (cast aluminium) high flow water pump.

Flexplate, don't know which one to recommend, but get a good one. Get a good starter also, AC Delcos are good. Stay away from anything imported.

Alternator, if you want one of the best, IMO, get a Powermaster. I have the chrome 37293, 140 amp.

Water pump, not but one I would use. The Stewart stage 1 if you want to go with cast iron, Stage 2 if you want aluminum. I have the Stage 2 on my truck. Edelbrock only wishes their pumps were as good as the Stewarts.
