electric fuel pumps

well, price wise I think you've nailed it. Looks like that quick fuel pump is a holley clone. Probably wouldn't hurt to upgrade to 3/8" at some point. Although 5/16 should work for where you're at.
THis pump is a little more expensive, but it seems to be a popular choice with hotrodders.

I personally have a carter rotary vane. They last pretty good. Never had one actually fail on me.
