Oiling is more a function of engine bearing clearances than what power adder you are running(higher volume for turbos being the exception). If you are running stock clearances on the motor then stock volume is fine. What you can do is up the pressure with a spring to help with the oiling of the bearings while under higher cylinder pressures.

For your setup: stock clearance stock volume pump/loose clearance higher volume pump.
