Oil pump and Timing Chain Question

Should I go with the ported LS6 oil pump and LS2 Timing chain set or the SLP oil pump timing chain package? The LS6 oil pump and LS2 tc and about $280 while the SLP set is $350. These parts are going on an LS1 with 124k and future heads and cam swap. What do you guys recommend?

Ls6 pump and ls2 is the way to go! I got both mine "slightly used" for $80 and they have worked perfect as did the set I bought brand new! GM parts are reliable!

So are talking about getting the ls6 ported oil pump? I am looking at getting an oil pump for my 6.0. But I don't know about getting a oem ls6 pump or a ported high pressure.
