87 305 TPI Fuel Pump Recommendations

Need a new fuel pump. What should I go with. Or more importantly what should I stay away from. There are 25+ to choose from. Thanks.

I've usually upgraded to a Walbro 255 instead of just doing a stock replacement. It's more than you need, but the extra fuel flow is there in case you decide to upgrade. It WON'T flow more than the stock lines/regulator can handle, in case you were wondering.
