I used these air springs: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5AR63W/
Worked perfectly, still going strong 30k miles later. Easy to replace also. Took my friend and I 20 mins to do both sides. If you're sure the old ones are shot, the easiest way to remove them is jack up the car and puncture them with a knife or screwdriver. Saves time versus trying to loosen up the air lines at the pump with limited wrench turning space.
Are you sure you need to replace the pump as well? You could try cleaning it first and see if that helps. The intake can get clogged with road grime.
