OP, I've got lots to say. Just not to people who start 'help me decide' threads; then simply lay in wait for someone to tell them what they want to hear.
Long story short, I agree with you, but it sounds like op wants some Extra piece of mind.

What would you do to have that extra piece of mind that the oil you're running is working properly with your car? How would you know that your oil pump is functioning well also? I'm curious what your opinion is on that, aside from having the extra diagnostic reading from an oil pressure gauge, which is why I recommended it for op.

Ok, but how will you know that it's doing what you want? What will you base that on?
On a sidenote, those people spinning bearings could also have suffered from worn out oil pumps or oil starvation in hard sweeping corners. Tomei/Greddy/etc oil pan helps prevent this. I don't want to tell you what you should do, but this is just from my experience.
