You can't go wrong with a Racor. I have two, a 1000 for the main engine and a 500 for the genset.
Be aware you should size the Racor to the engine fuel flow. If you use an oversized unit (to lengthen the time between filter changes perhaps) the swirl in the water separating chamber at the bottom of the unit will not be fast enough to do a good job. I would contact Racor for advice. While on the subject I suggest also you install an electric fuel pump and a few gauges to show the condition of the filters. I use 15-0-15psi gauges available from McMaster-Carr, a great on-line super hardware store I buy from all the time. They have the stainless case, liquid filled (necessary for a on-engine installation to prevent vibration from destroying the internals in the gauge) units that I like. McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com) is a huge treasure chest of hardware. Plenty of stainless and plastic stuff ideal for boats. Go to their web site and explore.
