need new fuel pump

Ok, so I'm thumbing through the Summit catalog and I'm in need of a new fuel pump for my SBC. Anyone here running one of the Holley mechanical pumps. In the Summit catalog is pn# HLY-12-327-11. It's the one that flows 110 GPH. It caught my attention because it has bigger inlet/outlet ports, 3/8", but I still need to keep the pressure down since I'm not running a regulator. I'm looking for something that won't break on me. My vehicle isn't a daily driver, but I don't want a cheap p.o.s. Any input or personal experience would be nice.

I have used the holley mechanical pumps in the past and I have used Carter mechanical pumps for years and several different vehicles. The Carter pumps are MUCH better pumps than the Holleys. Better diaphagms, more consistent hi rpm pressure etc. Theyre about the same price. I run a carter on my truck right now that I have had since I was 15 years old ( lets just say that was over 20 years ago ) . Still runs like a champ. You can hook up braided lines to them too and the lower housing rotates to clear obstructions.
