fuel system upgrade

I want to completely upgrade my fuel sysytem, to support future mods of course.
I'm thinkin a CARTER 5-7psi- $60
OR a HOLLEY BLUE w/regulator-$100
Which would you recommend for a street car, with basic mods like exhust and such, and MAYBE a weber45 eventually??

THEN i'm kinda stuck on what new line to get, fittings, checkvalve, etc? aeroquip? or just steel line?? how much line do i need? anythin else i'm missing, parts wise?

Mine locked up when the car wasn't driven for several months and the gas tank eroded and leaked all the gas out of the car. It was easily cleaned out at no cost, and works fine now. I'm happy with it.

installed my Carter about 6 months now, and my ONLY complaint is the noise, which should cease to be an issue after i find a way to install it outside the cockpit (where it belongs)
