So I agree that for making power, an HV oil pump is not needed. I also agree that I do not like to touch the main galleys and I don't do a lot of oil mods other than a little blending.
However, I like HV pumps, a lot, and honestly, would likely pick an HV pump with a standard spring first, next would be an HV pump as delivered, and third would be standard pump. Remember, the taller HV gears will drive up idle oil pressure. I know what you see on the gauge at idle when hot, even if it's low, isn't dangerous, but I like to see it on the gauge just the same. It just makes me feel better to see decent oil pressure at idle, especially when clearances are a little higher for a healthy one.
The relief spring determines how much oil goes up top at RPM, not the gears. Often people forget that "pressure is the measurement of resistance to flow" so, if you see 65 PSI, regardless of the pump design, the same amount of oil is being pushed to the bearings. The difference is how much is dumped by the relief, which in theory could lead to foaming, etc, but really I think a good pan with enough volume and capacity is the primary focus, especially for a front sump FE. Of course an HV has a little more spring than a standard pump and a little less than an HP, so it is pumping more up top, but then I prefer to have clean returns and then I just let it flow.
I also very sparingly use rocker arm restriction too. I have seen older FEs with loose tolerances smoke the outer rockers when they dump oil early. The answer for that is, don't run loose clearances, however, it's impossible not to with needle bearing rockers, so I like to make sure I have more than enough oil in the rocker shaft. Just a technique, and mine are primarily street builds, and not pushrod oiling, but with that and valve spring cooling, I like to let it flow.
