Which is the best booster pump for my shower?

I was very lucky at the weekend and came out of Mecca Bingo with £1,000!

Anyway, I am going to buy a booster pump because we are on a gravity fed system with terrible water pressure but there are lots of makes:
Triton, Salamander etc...
Does anyone know which is the best brand, model etc?

It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    We used a 1.5Bar Salamander pump for our on-suite conversion, bought from Screwfix. Seems to be doing a good job.

    They do spares as well. Repaired mine twice (new core and pump), but I've had it 10 years!

    Has it made your shower really powerful?
    I'm looking at the Salamander models on Screwfix as we speak!
    (through Quidco for cash back of course)

    Thanks plumb!
    It's an old built in model by Ideal Standard, the controls are on a different wall to the actual shower itself.
    It's gravity fed and the main tank is more than a meter higher than it
