Default Stock fuel pump or Holley/aftermarket?

My fuel pump started leaking :( so it's time for a replacement. I had a Holley pump about 15 years ago but it broke in half and I replaced it with a stock one. I don't recall ever having a starvation problem with the stock or Holley pumps. What is the best mechanical pump to use? I don't like electrics.

Unless you're into really high performance/high RPMS, no need to buy beyond OEM A/C Delco fuel pump in my estimation.

I have the stock LT1 pump on mine and it has never starved me for fuel. Bring it to 6500+ rpm all the time

Just ordered the Holley while the forum was down. Only $10 more than a stock one. If this one breaks in half, I'll go back to stock...forever.
