I think it doesn't matter, Na K pump always does the same (i.e. 3 Na out, 2 K in), it is only the question of its activity (after repolarisation, it works more intensly because action potentials have affected Na and K concentrations, so they have to be restored to normal values).
The pump is called elecrogenic due to one neto catione transfered outside of the cell (3 Na+ out - 2 K+ in = 1 cation out)
