Default FPR or fuel regulator??????

Which one for my appilcation? ( I searched and searched, I got nothing)
'00 Civic Si
Skunk2 Intake manifold
Short ram intake
dc 4-2-1 headeR
random tech. cat
apexi n-1 cat back
vortech fuel rail
walbro 255 lph pump
I plan to go N/A and I thought a B&M FPR would be fine, but a buddy 'o mine at a local speed shop told me to get an aramotive(sp) fuel regulator. The fuel regulator is twice as much as the FPR. Which one would be the best way to go??
Thanks in advance

FPR = fuel pressure regulator.
all cars have one stock.
if you want a cheap one, get the b&m. it works and it bolts on using the stock fpr.
the aeromotive one is nicer but is universal and doesnt bolt on.
I usually recommend the B&M or aem.

I'm sorry, I may have been misinformed but I thought FPR stood for Fuel Pressure Riser(the b&m one). I realize that I have one stock, I was just wondering which one would be better in the long run, after I do cams, vavletrain, and build the bottom end. Thanks

If you don't plan on using nitrous and staying N/A, the B&M one is fine and cheaper.

The adjustable FPR will let you go down to 20 PSI, which you don't need or want for N/A, and the diaphragms don't hold up well when using dry nitrous systems. So go with the B&M modifier.:
