Advice Wanted: Fuel Sender Recommendations
 
I am starting to build my -8 tanks. I have begun to research fuel sending unit types and am looking for advice. Our RV-6 has the original float type sending units supplied by Vans. They have been mildly reliable. There is better technology now and I interested in taking advantage of it. I am looking at capacitive senders and am asking for recommendations.
Thanks in advance!

Float. When properly calibrated with an electronic instrument system they are within a gallon of actual from empty up to the max useful indication (16 gallons or so).

Use the floats but put in a low fuel level sensors/annunciators and a fuel flow transducer and totalizer.
