You have to mount the fuel pressure guage in the cab so you can keep an eye on the lift pump pressure at all times. If your lift pump does not supply the injector pump with enough fuel to lube and cool itself it will die prematurely. Therefor the need for a fuel pressure guage. Spend some time reading here and you will learn all about it.

I'd use the black if I wanted a Holley. They are rated higher flow than the blue, like 140gph free flow, IIRC. Only problem with them is they are loud. Edelbrock makes a similar 150gph vane fuel pump that is much quieter, but more expensive, part# 1792. That is the backup pump on my 1st Gen. Nice pump, but spendy. I think I paid like about $140 for it.
If I was doing a lift pump on that truck I'd use a Walbro with regulator setup. It's a little more complicated to install, but ends up costing about the same and probably alot more reliable in the long run.

The only fuel pump compatibility issues with diesel I know of is some of the older diaphragm pumps or pumps without edpm or viton seals would not be bio-compatible.
I'm not aware of any modern electric fuel pump of any kind made in the last ten years that wouldn't be happy pumping any kind of diesel all day long. ULSD is harder on anything it touches, but that's not really a compatibility issue.
