Fuel pump recommendation

Gathering parts for engine rebuild and thinking about fuel pumps. Ive heard of some bad fitting or leaking units. I like the look of an NOS pc but not comfortable with the internals not being compatible with todays fuel so spending big bucks on an NOS doesn't make sense to me?
Do you guys have a recommendation on a good fuel pump that fits, functions and looks good for a 1970 442 w30 restoration?

Why buy a NOS fuel pump when you can get one with a lifetime warranty at the auto parts store? Are you doing a concours restoration? I've never had trouble with the mechanical fuel pump on my Oldsmobile.

And even more to the point, an NOS fuel pump was not built with ethanol-resistant rubber products.
