Got a Walbro 255lph in my Type R ,been in there 3 years and is fine (you have to use the OEM fuel sock as it's allegedly better than the Walbro).
As for which one is better/more reliable I really don't think there is one as all of them can break/fail to work and so people will complain about the reliabilty of whichwever pump they've bought/fitted

HRC do a two year guarantee......

The ultimate fuel pump would probably be an RCM.

I've had walbros on various cars and theve always been fine. Heard decent things about the hrc ones too. If I was to go further with mine I think I'd go for an Rcm
