Edelbrock sells pumps that are rebuildable if that is a consideration.  I haven't used a mechanical pump in years, electrics are too convenient and easy to trouble shoot.

I'm using a Holley blue pump, and it is LOUD.

Why I don't use Holley plums in my door cars anymore.  I use Mallory electrics, much more quiet - even the 140 GPH race pumps.
