Default Carb fuel tank and system choice?

I'm going to need to start making decisions for a fuel system to support my 700hp motor topped with a 1050 Dominator.

Starting with a tank or fuel cell. I'm leaning towards a fuel cell. To me it is safer and solves fuel slosh issues. I read back through Stielows fuel tank run down and as he says "lesson fuel cells work"

Vaporworks isn't an option for my low pressure carb set up but does anyone think that one of Ricks tanks offers any advantages to a fuel cell?

Fuel pump I considered in tank electric or in line electric pumps but I am leaning towards a gerotor style pump like the KSE unit. I like simple. They offer what should be a dependable design with pressure adjustment and from a packaging standpoint they seem pretty clean and as a plus that much less wiring and IF you crash they aren't still pumping fuel (yes there are ways to achieve this with electric but that means lots more wiring and just overall more stuff).

Anyone have any compelling reason to go back to the idea of electric.

Fuel lines. #6an or #8an to support 700hp?
