Default Fuel pump?

looking for opinions/help. My fuel pump went, So i am in search of a new one. 2004 base z with bolt ons. The options are:

1)Replace the fuel pump with a walbro 255 (100$) and modifications
2)Replace the entire fuel pump assembly and fuel pump already inside(300$) with an OEM set-up, no modifications required, pop in and go.
3) same as above , but what is known as an Airtex fuel pump. This is supposedly superior to the OEM assembly and pump (300$ as well)

I am doing the install myself, Suggestions? Comments? maybe some other options I do not know of? Also , if i purchase the full assembly, do i need to replace the fuel Level sending unit as well?

I hear the Walbro option is not that hard to do but since I’ve never done it (and I have reservations about the elevated p.s.i.) I can’t say go that route for a DIY’er. But there is one other option if you feel you need a higher flow option, Nismo Fuel Pump. Last I checked it was about $440 and boosted flow from 90 to 165L/h (I believe the Walbro is a 255).
