If you were doing your own work I would recommend the PK tensioner, however the gear replacement is tricky and requires additional precision work to align the cams properly.
I suggest doing a forum search on Pktensioner , you mechanic may not want to install non porsche items on a car because of the risk of 'There is a problem .fix it' liability. In any case you are going to be fixing a lot of deferred repairs but this is one of the most expensive repairs that you have to have done (gear/timing belt replacements).
As far as the water pump the replacement of one requires removal of the Timing belt components, so its usually a good idea to replace when you do a timing belt. You can source a good new water pump for less than the price quoted by your mechanic.
Shops often mark-up parts cost as part of their profit margin (not saying its wrong, ..its their business model). You may save some $$ by getting the parts from another source (like Pelican) and having the shop just do the labor.
As always, I recommend the PKtensioner as a nice replacement to the factory tensioner, however some people do not think replacing the factory tensioner, which is very capable of doing the job, with something that is not made by Porsche.
