mechanical or electric fuel pump

[Topsterguy]

I've got a basically stock '39 flathead in my '36 coupe ( just 2 carbs with the back one blocked off) , don't intend on driving it REALLY long distances, and I'm wondering if I should stay with the mechanical pump or block it off and put a small electric one back by the tank. I do like the "servicabilty" of the mechanical one but don't like the "perceived" lack of reliability of them. Who has the best / nosy reliable mechanical ones now? Thanks!
