Just a user, but I have had Taco pumps on an OWB and in zone loops since 2004 and I will not buy another.  I have replaced every single pump except one, at least once, and a couple of them would burn up every three or four years.  It's not just a single problem either.  One cavitated to death, a couple locked up due to overheating or steam, a couple more blew gaskets and would not stop leaking, and one of them I replaced simply because it made so much noise I thought it was a Cessna. 

My new OWF has Grundfos pumps and I will be using them from now on.  Basic models, 15-58 for circ loops, but I am considering an Alpha for the basement central zone and planning on consolidating a couple of zones.
