Default Which oil pump?

I've done the search, found info on stock LS1, LS2 and LS6 pumps, ported, Melling HV, and HP pumps. My question is which pumps do not require any modification to the pump, timing cover etc..... In other words, which one is a direct bolt in. I have no issues using stock volume and pressure pumps, but still haven't deadset figure which ones will go straight on.

Leave the high pressure spring in.
