Default oil pump recommendation

I have pulled the pan and rod and main caps off my "new" engine... I am going to replace the oil pump and screen... Any recommendations on the oil pump? I see there are 60# rated and 80# rated pumps. Which would give me the best oil pressure on this Pontiac motor? This is a stock 2bbl 350 .

Would a Melling pump be the best?

Also, it appears the rope rear seal has been working well. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to have the rod journals turned. So crank will have to come out.
