One fuel pump any better than the other?

One fuel pump any better than the other?
I am going to get my 1995 F150 back on the road, hopefully. I need to replace the front fuel delivery module and tank, and I will end up doing both if the modules while I am there. My question. Is any one brand the one to go with? Anything to stay away from? I was looking at Advance Auto and they list several. Master Electric for $135, Carter for $173, Bosch for $146, and Spectra for $120. They list the Motorcraft, but the price is way up over 300 bucks. But I can do a whole lot better on the Motorcraft price elsewhere. I just don't want to screw up and buy an inferior FDM. Thanks.

I just changed (3 weeks ago) the front pump in my 1995 F150 and bought a Carter brand replacement pump. I can not tell the difference between the replacement and the OEM pump. The Carter unit looked exactly like the ford one and apparently it also performs the same.
Out of curiosity I researched the carter brand fuel pumps and it turns out that carter manufactures OEM pumps for several automakers.
As usual we can only hope that the aftermarket pumps they sell are just as good as the OEM ones they supply to the factory. If they are, I can look forward to another 184K miles out of the new pump.

One more question. The AC Delco pumps, the MU2005 and MU2007, would that be the equivalent of a whole fuel pump like you would buy from Ford? Other than not being a Ford part of course They refer to it as "sender and pump."
I actually have found that I can purchase these for about $170 each. Rockauto and Advance both have them listed at about $240, give or take a few bucks.

Unless your sending unit is throwing fits or you want to eliminate the possibility of future failure and having to dis-assemble the fuel tank again, I see no reason to pay for a sending unit you dont need.
I changed the pump itself, and used the original sending unit with great success. Of couse, changing pump and sending unit as a whole will be the safest bet, just quite more expensive.
AC-Delco replacement parts are top quality and I would use that brand without worry.The only issue is that they are rather pricey.

It's almost one of those "I want to avoid having to do it again" things. The truck has now been sitting over two years.
The front fuel pump quit years ago. I drove around on the back tank only for at least 5 years. Two years ago the rear tank began flowing into the front. That was right when I was going to NY to pick up the new truck. And right after I got home with the new truck, the rear pump quit on the 150. It's been parked at my shop ever since.
