Personally if it's stock go mechanical but if you keep both you might want to regulate it.

I find mechanical fuel pumps much more reliable than the electric ones. Some electric pumps will allow a "draw through".

I took the regular fuel pump out of my 56 bird yrs ago and it's been there since turn the key on and wait till it stops clicking just turn the key and BAM instaint start. but a good electric pump and you will love the fast start-up.
