Fuel tank pump is the ONLY one the dealer will put in. The pump mounted on the back of the fuel filter is a discontinued item. If you plan on keeping your truck mostly stock, the in-tank one works fine... and it's free! But if you ever plan on modding your ride, just spend the $500 bucks now and get an Air Dog. The Air Dog-100 will support 500+ horsepower and doesn't require you to drop the fuel tank to install a "draw straw". If you go with the factory replacement in-tank pump and decide later down the road you want to upgrade the lift pump, you'll have to drop the tank and install a draw straw no matter which aftermarket pump you choose, as the in-tank pump won't allow fuel to be pulled through it.

Flow-thru pump was a primary consideration going to the in-tank design. That's why the filter mounted pumps were killing the VP44s. The CP3s lasted longer in the early commonrails and would typically refuse to restart after a LP failure. The later 04.5 and up commonrails can run with a failed LP, although this is not guaranteed and sometimes the CP3 wil not pull enough fuel on it's own to restart, probably depending on fuel level in the tank.

Primary consideration for the in-tank was life expectancy. With the pump in the tank and cooled by fuel its much more reliable and longer living. These pumps are much more reliable than the cannister mount and will work for moderate HP increases.
In-tank pump is the only one available at the dealer, Genos garage is carrying a replacement pump for the canniste rmounts at a reasonable price. If you have any power upgrades planned opt for an AD or FASS and modify the fuel cannister.

I said "a" primary consideration. What you mentioned is the other "obvious" consideration.
