The KB unit was probably or deffinitely the innovator and they took the time to really do in depth research on the performance of various popular fuel pumps. For that reason I think its a wise choice.
The MSD unit is very capable and I have long supported their products. It looks good, is adjustable and they provide excellent support for their products.

Its a toss up, but as KB is a much smaller company they no doubt know their product more intimately.

I'm running the MSD unit. My setup is D1SC at 7psi on stock motor w/cam, Racetronix intank, 60lb Motrons. Seems OK.

The MSD unit has the boost switch built into it, where as the KB has an external so you can have it where you want it.
