Default Dry Sump

For what it is worth, I had a Canton Pan with an Accusump and lost an engine in a big way because of no oil pressure. It got one head, 3 rods and two pistons. I was coming around a long sweeper at high RPM when it failed. I have since installed a Dailey dry sump pump and Stefs pan and oil tank with #16 lines for feed and return.
I believe this is the best system available, we also gained 13 HP because of the vacuum it pulls in the pan. We tried it vented and unvented to see the effect on output. I don't believe an Aviad system will pull a vacuum in the pan but could be wrong about that. The Ford GT and Z06/ZR1 Corvettes both use dry sumps in production vehicles because when you can pull over 1.0 G, oil control is an issue.
