The Hella has a 12-mo guarantee, but I can't find the warranty on the ECS site, for the Meyle assembly.
I've had good luck with the Hella parts choices I've made. I'd go Hella for this one if it were me.

I just saw 80'Stech's Delphi thread and while I didnt have the mismatching pump size problems when I got a pierburg, working on an old sender there was the feeling something would just crack or break off.

I've not experienced burnt sockets but the insulation breaking off on the bump harnesses I've seen (both MB and BMW's) seem like they could be a cause of that kind of a problem too.

EDIT: I see you got the Hella. I'd suggest a fan for ventilation to add to the preps. Working in gas fumes suck ugh.
