Everybody has their own opinion...

but here is mine based on my experience:

good OEM mechanical pumps are extremely reliable. for our GMC, and other vehicles i have dealt with, are also fairly inexpensive.

Yes they have a potential, to rupture, and fill your crankcase with fuel. but my opinion, even though it happens, I think the statistics would show it to be a very rare occurrence.

my personal experience, is dealing with lots of electric fuel pump failures. However with the poor gas these days, installation of some sort of electric pumps is almost getting to be mandatory to fix vapor lock.

I also have had good luck with a carter 4070 I installed in my jeep wagoneer. and it feels to be quite a bit better built pump then a faucet, airtex, or mr. gasket. Even though i have both a faucet(aux line), and mr. gasket(onan) that has not failed yet on my wagoneer, i have 1 each of those brands that went bad on my vw buggy, and am now back to a mechanical pump on my Volkswagens.
