Thanks for all the opinions and data. I guess I will be going AFP and using Tom for hoses and connections.

My vote is for Andair, the AFP I used 8 years ago was a bit awkward to plumb in. Andair is much more straight forward, particularly with filters in the wing roots.

Hey Peter, how you doing? Have you seen the newer version of the AFP pump that don released several years ago? Plumbing is a breeze.

Be careful when you choose a pump, not all of the mentioned pumps are self-priming! If you run a tank dry (accidentally hopefully), then it could be, that the pump is not over cumming the air pressure to bring fuel to the engine. This can also happen when you fly aerobatics and to much air goes into the fuel-pickup. At least one suppler warns about this in his installation manual.

Make your own research and ask the supplier.
