Default oil pumps

Having just had my 205 block bored and 4wd pistons fitted,which oil pump would you recommend .I know that i could spend a load of cash on one,but i am on a budget but don't want to cut corners either.It is running stage 3 about 320bhp so do i need to upgrade ,and is there a difference between 4wd and 2wd pumps?
thanks in advance

im not sure what the diff is between 2wd & 4x4 pumps but i have too mates who have just had full engine rebuilds done by Harvey Gibbs and there running standard oil pumps. There cars are both 4x4 and running 350bhp and 410bhp. if Harvey Gibbs is using standard oil pumps then there more than good enough for the job.

Std is more than adequate, higher pressure is not always a good thing.
