Default Boost Ref FP Regulator of Choice?

Just wondering what fuel pressure regulators (boost referenced) you guys are running with success? I'm just looking to get one with two inlet ports -6an, one return -6an, and a gauge port.

I've been looking around and see that some people have had issues with Aeromotive and others say they work fine. I know Nasty uses Fuelab regulators on some of his setups but haven't found too much info here on them. I know Magnafuel is in the mix too.

So, what are you guys running/recommend? Pros/cons?

Which Weldon? I'm assuming the 2040 since they only list two. I like that you added the fact of no spikes.

Which Aeromotive are you guys running? I was also looking at the 13109 since I really don't need anything bigger. It's really a matter of preference or opinion at this point. I appreciate all of the replies so far.

I have the big Aeromotive and I have been datalogging fuel pressure with a pressure transducer for ~2 months with only +-4psi variations in pressure under load.

2040 A FPR is truly tested when you pump a lot of volume through it and the pressure does not spike
