Default fuel pump broke. upgrade or just replace?

You can see my mods in my sig. I plan on doing a h/c/i on the car withing the next 12 months adn someday the car might get a supercharger or a bottle. Should I replace the stock fuel pump with another stock one or should I upgrade? If I upgrade how far do I go? 110lph, 150lph, 190lph?
I know I can always put an in-line t-rex pump on the car later too

I have a walbro 190 and but most people seem to go with the 255. I like my 190 because its doesn't make a sound. From what I've heard the 255's are noisy.

I have heard though that it is a waste to have too large opf a pump if you car doesn't need it so I don't want to go too big....

whats the price difference? other than it being noisey does it really matter? might as well make sure you have enough, as it will cycle the rest back to the tank anyways
