Compare brands of pumps

We have had to replace F&W artesian well pumps every 10 to 11 years, is this common?
We now have the option of a Gould or Red Jacket stainless steel 1 1/2 hp pump. Is one more reliable and quality oriented than the other?

All 3 of the brands you listed are very good pumps.

11 years is pretty good service for an appliance that runs every day isn't it?
