would it be possible to use a needle and snubber valve together? any benfit from this?

You could, but there wouldn't be any point. They both do the same job, the needle valve is just a cheap alternative.

My Glowshift FP gauge has been going strong for over 2 years with just the needle valve.

Apparently the piston pump alomg with a sensitive Autometer gauge requires a snubber, rubber hose and a needle valve to keep things smoothed out on that setup.

YMMV.

What fuel pump? Apparently a FASS, AD or similar, based on the pulling, dyno, etc I'd guess. Yep, like I said earlier in the thread, electrics don't need them.
