Cooling problem 91 9KT

This past summer, I had my balance shaft chain+tensioner replaced. While the guy was in there, I thought I'd have him do the water pump at the same time. I got a rebuilt water pump from Auto Value and had him put it on. Since then I've had problems with the car getting kinda hot while idling. The fan (2 speed) doesn't kick on until the car is very near overheating, and it turns off long before the car has reached a normal temp. Radiator is in great condition.
Here's what I've done so far to try to fix my problem....
Flushed system
Did my best to make sure there's no bubbles.
New thermostat (off brand)
New thermostat again (Gates brand)
Added a bottle of water wetter (this actually did help a little. amazing stuff)
New thermal switch from eeuroparts( O.E. temp)
New thermostat yet again (O.E. Saab)
My last logical step is the water pump. Does anyone think that it might be possible for whomever rebuilt the water pump to have changed the pitch of the impeller? Perhaps when they sandblast the old pumps, the porous surface of the impeller/housing it makes the water cavitate?
I just really believe that the water is circulating poorly.
I would appreciate any criticism of my logic or advice from anyone who has had a similar problem.
