Which mod gives more power?

I am thinking about my next mod and cant decide between an electric waterpump or 1.6 roller rockers. Which would free up more power? I am kinda leaning toward the rockers but would like to get some other opinions. The car is a 96 TA.

1.6 RRs would probably give more power i would imagine...plus help support future mods a little better

+1 on the rockers

Also im guessing the rockers will last longer.

Another vote for rockers. (They should provide a bigger gain than the EWP, if your stock valvetrain can handle the additional lift)

I would do rockers with some LT4 springs. This is about all the LT4 springs are good for is 1.6s on a stock cam and as a bonus they are cheap.
