Fel Pro, Victor or original GM for me. All have been fine.

The one issue I've had with a rear main seal leak was when the crank had a minor amount of wear on it where the rear seal contact area was.

Ya the blue(sometimes grey) felpro is what i always use.   i offset the seal from the parting line about a 1/4 inch and be sure to seal the parting surfaces.

 I always use a stock pump, Melling brand. So far they've always been perfect.
