That filter looks good. How would it work to have one in each fuel line as
they run along in front of the spar just before the tank selector valve? Would
it then be safe/advisable to get rid of gascolator?

The gascolator is not needed. And Ken K. of Van's agrees. Set your pick-up tube to leave about 16 to 20oz of fuel in the tank. That's where the water will be. AND SUMP YOUR TANKS.
Anytime you place the filters before the shut off valve, you can't shut off the fuel to service the filters. If you want two filters, do what Frank said..... Two filters, two fuel pumps side by side then "T" them together after the outlet and run a single line to FFlow or firewall. You will pay about $45 for each pump and about $72 per filter. Less than $250 for a complete double fuel pump and filter system.
A mechanical fuel pump is about $210.00. Add a Andair gascolator for another $200.00........... Then ask yourself, what is a better system for today. Plus, the gascolator does not protect the back-up pump.
ps. The POWER SONIC model PS 1250 5 Amp Hr. is an AGM battery. It is safe.
