With a 1/2 line it would be better but that still means dropping the tank and replacing the pickup and running a new line. $1000 isn't chump change but, I spent $20000 on the motor so spending another 1000 to feed it properly doesn't seem out of line. Plus it will allow for future options. I just need to decide what I want to do about the safety switch business.

That makes sense, always a good idea to properly feed a big hp engine like that... surprised with all the moeny you spent on the engine that you didnt consider the fuel lines being way too small for that power level. Just wanted to be sure you didnt overlook the carter since I didnt see it mentioned when you listed the holley & mallory that you said the techs said they wont flow fuel when failed.
If you do decide on the primer/pusher set up for now, then the carter is the best bet IMO. But bypassing all that to go intank pump is the better approach... hope you consider even just some fun time at teh drag strip during a test & tune event just to see what your $20 grand engine can do, especially if youre looking into sticky tires and full intank pump/EFI...
