Default Fuel Pump and Sending Unit....Which one?

I need to replace the fuel pump sending unit in my rear tank. I have been looking and have found serveral different brands on the market. My question is which one gives you the best bang for your buck?

Spectra Premium-$78.79
Airtex-$87.79
Carter-$120.89
Acdelco-$131.79
Bosch-$203.79
Motorcraft-$237.99

I have also found a Ford NOS fuel pump sending unit for $110.00

All input is welcome!

Auto Zone has mine for like $60ish I think? I'd steer clear of NOS since we all know how well those work.

Yea, the autozone and advance auto here sell the Airtex and Spectra Premium replacement units between $80-$90.

I was wondering about service life of these or other aftermarket units that others have bought. I have never heard anything good about Airtex products so I am a little worried about buying their unit.

I needed to replace both my intank pumps, there were so many to choose from, I went with the Federal Mogul (Carter) only because they were made in the USA. I got the part number from napa and searched it online and got both for a 100 including shipping. Also I had to replace the sending unit in the rear tank. I went with the Spectra, it is made in Canada.

Thanks for the information!

After researching these pumps over the weekend I am going to go with the Carter pumps and sending units. Not the lowest priced units, but I have not found any bad information on them and they have one the best warranties for aftermarket products.
