least expensive, yet quality? OEM. There were some issues with earlier pumps, but the current pumps are great unless you have something extreme in mind.
I think the main cause of pressure problems is the o-ring seal on the pump, so be careful when installing.

I agree that a new GM pump if you have an early LS1 is the cheapest and best way to go, however all the pressure problems were not from the o-ring but from the releif valve sticking (unless, of course, you did a cam change and have had the stock oil pump off). It is a well known GM failure, and even dates back to 94-95 when they were first testing the LS1 in "Cormaros".

Is a ported oil pump really recommended for revving to 6600-7000 rpm?
