Go To Bilge Pump and Float Switch?

I have a '96 Baja 302 diagnosed by the inspecting mechanic as having a constant on Rule Mate 1100 gph bilge pump with internal float switch. After reading some online reviews of these units the sticking has shown to be an issue within 1 yr. of installing a new assy. I prefer not to install the same known "junk". Is there a better option whether the float switch is internal or external, and if external which float switch to use?

Thanks!
Keith

Jabsco 36600 is the one I'd trust, its rebuildable, however the rebuild kit is more than most standard bilge pumps.
