I would put in a high volume standard pressure pump and a Canton or Moroso rear sump pan. Make sure you get a pan designed to fit a 351 in a fox body.
I agree, extra volume and extra oil capacity is a very good thing. The extra oil volume can help with street driving and will extend valve spring life too. Oil cools the valve springs and the extra volume pump will get it there at lower street engine speeds. Extra capacity also helps allow the oil to run cooler while giving you a reserve of oil for the high volume oil pump's displacement.
Do not forget to add and ARP heavy duty Oil pump shaft as well. Stock one is quite weak.
