Default Oil Pan for new build

So this is a quick and easy question.

I'm building a new motor and I am putting a high capacity oil pump and need a larger oil pan. Anyone have any suggestions. I have looked on google and found these pans in the list below.

Don't really know anything about any of them. Just want a good oil pan. Thanks

High "capacity" oil pump?
Volume or pressure?

I ran a stock oil pan on my 11 second Dakota for years, I still run a stock oil pump, you don't need a better oil pan.

Stock pans are fine unless your drag racing, Then you run a windage tray.

I'm running the Milodon pan on my truck and haven't had any issues at all with it. Its certainly more oil pan than I need right now, but I got it used a while back at a real good price and it included the braided dipstick tube. I also run a high volume oil pump along with an old school Direct Connection windage tray I had laying around.

Well to clarify, I am running a high volume oil pump. The reason is I took the expensive plunge into finishing a stroker motor that a friend had already started. So that being said I wanted the high volume pump to meet the extra needs of a high compression 408.

I am leaning towards the milodon unless anyone else has a suggestion

I run a high volume pump, with the stock oil pan, no issues.

Great. I assumed it was a truck since you posted the question here, but wanted to be sure, since truck pans are typically rear sump pans.
