Help with new high volume oil pump
So my parts just came in for my cam swap. Along with them is a new high volume oil pump that came with two different springs. My question is which spring should I use? There is a "High Pressure" (current installed) one and a "Standard Pressure" one.

High Pressure... With the tight tolerances that these engines have, as opposed to old metal where High pressure could cause bearing wash, there's no problem...
Make sure you use good oil filters though, cheap ones can have a blow out.

High demand meaning a system that is going to see a lot of rpm/heat/friction. Yours will. Mild H/C/I setups wont always need that 10-15 extra psi but it certainly never hurts.

Agree w/ high pressure.
Since you'll be in there anyway, I'd upgrade the timing set too.
I added a high flow oil pump and new timing on my recent cam/supercharger install too.
