Another dead Fuel Pump

So, after having the Walbro 255 for 6 years I'm pretty sure its dead. Before dropping the rear again to get to it I'm not sure what I should replace it with. I'm looking for any suggestions. Looking for a good pump which will support future mods & engines and hopefully last longer so I'm not doing this again in a few years.

What future mods do you have in mind?

A Walbro 255 is feeding my 12-sec LS1 just fine.

In the future I'm headed towards a cammed Vortec 350 with TBI on top with an EBL for tuning. I'll probably play with the 305 some more before then.

I have also heard the Walbro 255 is a but too much and will only be overworking itself. I'm just curious what else people are using other than Walbro or TPI pumps. I think Holley has one too if i'm correct.
