I'm have a FiTech injection unit, TBI type, to install onto my car.  I'm planning to use an in-tank fuel pump with 60+ psi and 3/8" line requirements.

What have others used for a fuel filter with a similar system?

Thanks.

Just to keep it easy to remember, I used a Lincoln fuel filter...same as '95 Mark VIII donor car. It utilized the same Ford quick change (name escapes me at the moment)as on the fuel logs. Easy parts store pickup when needed.
Terry, it was nice talking yesterday, sorry I lost coverage with my phone. Two things I wanted to suggest with your fuel stuff. I installed a Ford impact shut off unit in my trunk. The fuel pump gets wired thru it and shuts power off to the pump if in an accident. Good safety addition. Can't remember what I pulled it from, but numerous Ford products had them in their trunks at the wrecking yard. Easy to check after it's removed from donor car........just slap it with your hand, and the button should pop up. cheap also.5 bucks.
The second suggestion....I hated the J bolts that the tank is held in with...kept popping out of the hole when I was trying to tighten. I installed a spacer between the 2 walls of the brackets (an inch or so?) with a bolt going thru, and an eye bolt swiveling on the spacer. Worked great.
Those Ford quick connect fittings and adapters can be had at Pure Choice Motor sports in Lake Havasu, Az.

The tool for disconnecting them from the lines is readily available as well.  Just need to bleed the pressure off before trying to uncouple.  Double what he said about the "bump" switch!

I used an Aeromotive in-tank pump/filter and added a 10 micron Earl's inline filter mounted just before the regulator on the firewall. I also used a Holley fuel pressure sender so I could monitor the fuel pressure. mine is set to 58 psi.
