Default Burton oil pump

Hi chaps my 4x4 saff engine has a burton power HP oil pump fitted and has been since the engine was built 9k ago. One of my mates told me he was advised not to fit one of burtons pumps to his cossie as they are shite so I did abit of googling and it seems there is a lot of bad reviews of these.

I have an oil pressure gauge and with my remote filter housing and oil cooler I'm getting about 20psi oil pressure on hot idle, to be exact it may be 22psi. It's pretty high when cold I'd say about 60-70psi. This is with millers cfs 10-60.

Should I remove the oil pump and fit another or is there nothing to worry about? I'm abit paranoid now chaps lol.

Also is there an alternative pump that is pretty reliable? I have the original pump so could maybe get that rebuilt.
