Brands which on to choose?

When I did the build-up on my '95, I used a Wal-bro 255 LPH pump, Kirban regulator, and this gauge: link (shop around though, I paid little more than half that for the gauge). I have not had any of these items give me trouble.
 
Ford has the best kit out there for a NA car.

Comes with hoses and complete pump for $200. (pump is stock quiet)
190L is plenty big for a NA car, 255 is WAY to big and can cause Vapour lock (heats the fuel up too much)

Autometer make a killer Fuel gauge that mounts inside the car, just $$$$$$

Kirban FR is a good choice.......
 
On my '95, I also went with a walbro 255lph in tank pump ($90)
I ordered the summit liquid filled rail mount fp gauge($27)
I went with an aeromotive reg ($90)
I have installed a few holley regulators, and they all seem to work fine. However, the anodized aluminum aeromotive and paxton units are much nicer.
