Default Fuel Filter Selection Help

I am trying to set up the fuel system on my brother rock buggy with a LQ4 in it. The regulator is on the rail and since the filter is going to be seen I would like to use a good looking in-line like shown below. I was going to place it after the pump, but what micron should I get? Also since the buggy will often be in a nasty environment I was thinking about also putting one pre pump just incase dirt gets in the fuel cell. What micron would I need there? Thanks for any help.

By the way the pump is a Walbro in-line 255lph.

The one you link will work for a prepump filter. They are typically 40 or 100 micron depending on the type of pump. I have the Summit store brand equivalent of that. there is just a small screen inside that big *** cavity.

After pump filter should be 10 micron. They typically have some type of paper filter element.
