I vote the racetronix. The racetronix is a modified walbro.

I have read that they are different, however I have seen both pumps side by side and there is no visual difference except for the fancy aluminum cover and wiring kit that Racetronics includes. The pump I am comparing is a US made Walbro GSS341 part# 18105-3. I ran two of these in my Supra and never ran out of fuel to 600whp through an auto.

Whichever you go with, I highly recommend getting the harness. It provides full voltage (and current) to the pump at times of high demand, which the factory harness cannot do with aftermarket pumps.

The supporting equipment is what makes or breaks the install. Poor wiring & cheap intank hoses, plus the lack of the proper venturi setup are what causes most of the problems with pump installations in these cars.

Also there are a few version of the 340 series pumps & some are known to be troublesome.

I recommend the Racetronix as you often get what you pay for.
