I think intank is way better since it picks up the fuel and an inline just sends it.

Other than additional noise, the only drawback to the inline pumps are they are sensitive to inlet restriction. You need to have large pickup lines from the tank to keep from starving the pump. In-tank pumps do not suffer from this problem as they are essentially sitting in the fuel. If you run an inline try to mount it below the tank level to allow it to feed better.

Hope this helps.

inline are also louder, but cheaper to do.
