Default Power Steering help

It seems that lately it has been getting harder to turn my wheels at a stop and impossible to turn the wheel with the brake applied. Also recently it doesn't feel like it has the stopping power that it had before. I'm thinking of replaceing the power steering pump. Should I look at replaceing any other parts in the system, i.e. hoses, seals, master cylinder, gear box. I'm not sure if any of the other parts have issues.

Anything, Anybody? Another question, should I get an aftermarket pump with more power or just get one from the parts store with a lifetime warrenty that I can replace for free if it wears out on my. I run stock tires and don't plan on getting bigger for the time being.
