Which fuel pump #1

I am looking at replacing my fuel pump on my 72 1275. There has been a lot of discussion regarding replacements but i cant get a handle on which is the preffered fuel pump. Also, how do you identify which pump you are replacing. I havent pulled it yet, but it is a square box with no obvious markings.

Does your pump look like this one?

If so, it's a Facet brand pump. They work fine but are noisy. If you replace your pump with another Facet make sure you get one that pumps at the proper pressure level. Don't know what carbs you have, but you don't want a pump that puts out too much pressure.

Looks very similar to this. Do the SU's look similar also???

SU's are larger and sort of barrel shape. I've been using these: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Airtex-E8016S-Electric-Fuel-Pump-/79030124
