I'm New Here
I've found a couple brands I like that seem well suited to my Rotax install.

www.dymepsi.com
www.aeromotiveinc.com

Aeromotive has some nice 100 micron stainless steel filter options to place upstream of the fuel selector and fuel pumps.

Dyme PSI has several cool options:
- Dry break fittings (easier wing removal for transport);
- carbon PTFE hose;
- quick disconnect fittings;
- bulkhead fittings.

I know neither of these are aviation specific brands, but they appear to be quality and well received in the racing community. I'm hoping this crowd can talk me one way or another.

500+ hours on my aeromotive fuel filters. I use the 40 micron stainless steel filter before the fuel pumps.

Crappy answer but, "depends,"

A lot of the quality components you've listed actually beat the snot out of some supplied by OEMs, e.g. I gave away my EFII filters and replaced with an Aerolab (upstream) and an aeromotive (downstream). Each has u rating required by the pump/injectors. Each is reusable thus easily inspectable. Each has significantly more surface area -> fouling margin than the OEM supplied.

Make sure whatever you're going with exceeds that of the OEM EXCEPT the micron rating. That you want to match, not beat.

I personally would stay away from QD fittings or any other than utilize a soft seal. Suction leaks can range from a PITA to much worse. I know the aeromotive filters have options for 37 deg flare fittings.

Good luck.
 
Installed QD fittings on a removable auxiliary fuel tank installation. Was concerned about degraded fuel flow rate so upsized the fittings for that reason.
Be sure to test flow rates if you go that route.

I'm glad you mentioned that.

My thought was to step up to a 12AN dry break on 8AN lines to ensure the internal diameter didn't kill all the flow.

Same same for the inline 100 micron filter, upsizing to 12ORB fittings which gives a ton more filter surface area as a bonus.
