GSL-SE fuel pump recommendations
(Yes I searched first) This girl's GSL-SE that I'm trying to fix needs a fuel pump. I ran jumper wires from the batt to the plug under the bin and still nothing happened. Gas pours out of the disconnected hose to the tank so it's not blocked. Tomorrow I'll pull the pump completely out and apply power but I'm not optimistic. So I need some advice what to replace it with. It's mostly stock, and she doesn't need a high performance fuel pump, just something that will work reliably.
What is the recommended brand? Should I get the OEM or an aftermarket? (I'll call Ray at Malloy tomorrow for the OEM price; mazdatrix is $318.87 yikes)
VB/Black Dragon (brand unspecified) is $139.95
Rock Auto has 3 different pumps, (and I guess there's a discount code somewhere if anyone knows where?):
BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1528004 $56.79
Replacement Type [Wholesaler Closeout -- 30 Day Warranty]
AIRTEX Part # E8000 $56.89
[Wholesaler Closeout -- 30 Day Warranty]
BOSCH Part # 69400 $112.79
(Electric)
CARTER Part # P70199 $115.89
Replacement Design Pump
Which of these is better quality, which do people recommend? I don't think the warranty is an issue, theoretically if it's bad that will be apparent within 30 days. Is the beck/arnly or the Airtex ok to get? Or is there another brand holley, walbro that is better and comparable price? Thanks.

OK thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning to either the Beck/Arnley or Airtex since they are more than $50 cheaper than any others and no one has raised any red flags about them.

the carter is a higher flow pump than the others and is known to sometimes over run the stock fpr. the black dragon is a rebadged lower volume high presure msd in line that you can find on line for as low as $75.00 as a msd inline.
