Default converting to in line fuel pump

So within a couple weeks, I plan to convert my jeep to an exernal fuel pump instead of the pain in the *** internal. I plan to run the msd ignition 2225 here. And I'm also removing the stock relay and replacing it with a new one by Summit. Now my dillema is what fuel filter to run? Looking at a couple by edlebrock, but I'm not positive. Any input?

Check out Aeromotive or Kinsler Fuel Injection for everything you need to do the job.

Replacing when they do fail lol. And from what I've seen the externals have a broader performance market for less money

so you spend an hour replacing it every 100k to 300k miles. not sure what you mean by performance gains, but the stock pump supplies plenty of fuel for fairly built strokers from what ive seen. just sounds like you are overcomplicating things for no real benefit.
