Default timing chain/oil pump ?

Hey all, I've done a good amount of searching and can't quite find the answers im looking for. I just got an MS3 cam,valve springs and rods from texas speed. Ive been looking at timing chains and oil pumps for the last week and can't make up my mind on what i need. I have been told to get an ls1 double roller by some and some have told me to just get an ls2 timing chain. I'm rather new to ls1(previous mustang owner) and dont know my way around the engine too much yet. Also i know i am going to replace my oil pump since my ss is a 98' and they go bad easily. I know to get an ls6 oil pump but i also noticed a ls6 ported oil pump on texas speed. Which one would be best. By the way i have a 98 camaro ss m6, ported ls6 intake/tb, pacesetter lts, 3.73s, tsp high flow catted y pipe and lid. Any input will be appreciated.

thanks

Get the ported oil pump and a ls2 chain. Just make sure you do not pinch the oil pump oring while tightening the pickup tube.
