Scrutineers are the guys who check competition vehicles for safety before any licensed competition event in the UK. They look at everything safety related and if they don't give you the OK you can't compete.
As far as mechanical vs electrical fuel pumps - of all the cars I've owned over the years the only one's I've had fuel pump problems with have been electrical. This doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with electric pumps but my experience would say a mechanical one is more durable. If you fit a mechanical one during the rebuild it's relatively easy to switch to electric in the vehicle later on if you're not happy. More difficult to go the other way.
I've had my car for 10 years now and been competing for two, I've never had a problem with the stock mechanical pump.
Your call.
