Kinda depends on what kind of power you will be making. What's you goal?

I'm shooting for around 600rwhp @ 8-9lbs of boost so I went with dual walbros. A lot of people just get the race tronix plug and play 255L pump and that's enough for them.

My goal is not to blow my engine with this D-1SC at 8 pounds of boost I am really trying to get about 500-530 RWHP with the mods I have. I have 400 now so I know I am cutting it close

I will be getting the Racetronix one as well. I heard a lot of good things from it. It will give the pump better and constant voltage to maintain fuel pressure. It also allows you to plug in a boost-a-pump.

Yes it is. Using an intake is better than an inline in my opinion because with an inline, you can only pump as much as the stock pump will allow. An inline pump will pump more than stock, but the stock pump becomes a restriction soon enough. An intake will eliminate the stock pump and then you can run an inline or a boost-a-pump.

The racetronix kit is really nice, the harness that comes with it is as good as it gets for that sort of thing.
