Just another perspective........

If you're looking at simple store bought mechanical pumps from the auto chain stores, it really hasn't mattered much over the last several years what brand you end up with. They are all pretty much the same with the same success/fail rate.
I've sometimes had a good one that was fine for years, and sometimes it took me 3 trips to the store replacing the pump until I got a good one.

So no real good recommendation on those from me, Airtex, Carter, AC, are all the same deal. Just roll the dice.

When I don't want to play those games and I still want a mechanical pump I'd recommend a RobbMC pump. 4 times the money but it's a well built pump and is rebuildable with a $25 kit he sells. So once past the initial investment it's a pretty easy and cheap pump to maintain if you ever should need to revisit it.

On rubber hose, the EFI hose is a good suggestion. It's more robust. Although I'll say I've never had much issue with fuel hose failure. I have however noticed different quality standard fuel hoses from different places. Some of it is so thin walled that when you make a curve with it, it kinks almost immediately and is just too flimsy for my taste. It takes some shopping around at different auto stores to find a satisfactory fuel hose, at least that's been my experience. The EFI stuff is pretty solid quality most anywhere you go though. It's also about 3 times the price per foot. That doesn't bother me, but I know some are very budget oriented.

As far as clamps, the factory squeeze clamps work fine either way you go.

All cars have short runs of rubber hose and that's the way I'd recommend keeping it (I'm sure that's what is in question), and use metal line where ever the factory intended just as 67Drake suggested.
