The acusump looks much more simple to fit

Depends on if you are fitting slicks (on track) or not really imho - if so then i'd say the dry sump would be the safer option. If not then are you going to generate the cornering forces to really need the dry sump system??

You cant go wrong with a dry sump system.
Any other method does not do the job correctly. On a high speed corner it is suprising the amount of "G" that can be generated on a light car on good tyres.
If you can afford it, go dry sump, if you cant, baffle it and put in accusump.
