Can't help you with the differences between the two types of pump but why not use the standard fuel pump from the bike?

I too cannot help I am afraid, but I am posting just to reiterate Phil's advice - go for the pump from the bike...

I'm not 100% sure but I think the solid state pumps just keep going as long as power is connected but the interrupter pumps go into an
"idle" mode until fuel needs to go through the pipes

I think you will find that it referes to the type of system used to generate the pumping action.
Solid state uses transistors to create an osciliating magnetic field, interrupter a mechanical switch mechanism.
Solid state is better as it is more reliable.

All i can say from experience is that using a red top with a 38dgas via a regulator overloads the floats and result in a heart stopping fire in the
carb
Use pump matched to the system. Bike pump with bike carbs works very well indeed.

All pumps these days even Burlen SU pumps have solid state (Hall Effect) switching.
I suspect little square Facet/Bendix pumps use plunger rather than a diaphram to pump the fuel.
