I went a very long time with one, because Nikki 4-barrel carbs like about 1.5psi fuel pressure. Never any issues.

I'm glad that you did, but there are a whole lot of folks reporting severe issues.
Just suggesting due diligence. One or two negative reports is to be expected. It's a LOT more than that.
Where there's smoke, there's fire (yes, some of those reported as well).

I personally chose not to keep 90 PSI K-jet fuel pressure in a track-focused car that I switched to Webers. Twice the fuel lines = twice the potential failure points. Plus if I get a line leak, I would probably still have plenty of residual pressure to keep the motor -- and the fuel pump -- running, so I would be driving around oblivious, spraying fuel at high pressure until things finally got critical.

My particular vehicle has a low-power boost pump in the tank, to feed the high pressure pump under the car. It was really easy to hang the low pressure pump at a well-protected section of the engine bay, re-route the boost pump/supply feed from the tank over from the HP pump's supply line to the return line, and use the engine bay end of that return line as the supply line for the low-pressure pump. Capped off the HP supply line at the tank end and the engine bay end.

So, if Holley is out ... what brand(s) should I be looking at?

Carter, Facet seem to be fine.

The Holley should work fine, but is a bit noisy. We had a secondary pump that was a tiny in-line pump (for some early Porsche 911) that couldn't quite keep up at higher RPMs. It was good enough to limp the car home, though.
