Default Dry SUmp?

Since I blew up a motor somehow, it seems #4 main bearing cap broke and #8 rod bearing started saying goodbye and I am interested in Autocrossing the car I am trying to decide between an Accusump or a dry sump system. I need to find a reasonable spot for the rectangular tank and then figure out the pulley arrangement for the pump.
Anyone have thoughts?

I have one of those accumulators and I use it mostly for prelubing my engine but i'm sure it works for hard turns or braking. It's been trouble free for the last 20 years or so. I can't get the photo to paste up but the link seems to work...

I think a dry sump is overkill for auto-X, where there are very few sustained, high-G turns. I've done hundreds of auto-X laps on R-compounds with my high-mileage LT1 and have never noticed oil pressure issues.
