As for me using a more expensive part when I am repairing a cars' fuel system, it is my choice to use steel, titanium, or aluminum vrs plastic everytime allowed, and stainless steel in this case because of the contact with gas, that is my way of doing things.

I would rather spend that 30 bucks now instead of ever having to disassemble the fuel system again. Now, given the option, other owners have that choice. I think of it as a mini insurance policy.

I build/repair things to a higher standard than GMs or any factory automotive bean counter allows, over the years it has proven way cheaper for me in the long run.
That is completely different than you're previous post. I don't think anyone here (except the NCRS guys) miss out on an opportunity to upgrade and make our cars better when there is a repair to do. But, you were blasting GM for not building it this way to begin with.

Now back to the original discussion - Is this Y something that fails over time or just something that should be replaced/upgraded while you are doing the rest of the upgrades? I need to get into why I run out of fuel at 1/4 tank and I think it will end up being the sending unit in the tank. This would be a good time to do this work.
