Don't forget the wretched Autovac, that comes way down the list below Bendix and SU pumps. In fact SU pumps are not as bad as made out to be. They often suffer from neglect, not having the contacts cleaned and checked, and being fitted in places where they are subject to moisture. At that time they were good and enabled fuel to fill the carb before winding over, thus saving battery and starter wear.
Also, lay of Joe Lucas, at least the older parts (switches, etc) were able to be dismantled and cleaned, more than can be done with US made crimped together, chuck away items
If anyone has had experience of Italian made electrics, they will know how good Lucas products are in comparison.
