The 71 charger is in the body shop. I had the gas tank removed and will be buying a new one.
Is there a brand better then others? Any to avoid?

Get Spectra. They are made in Canada.

Don't assume anything with a tank...There's some real cheaply made units out there some are even painted...Do your homework and IMO don't cheap out on the sending unit either...Some of the aftermarket sending unit retainer rings leave alot to be desired... As stated Spectra is at the upper end of the repops...

Make sure it matches your old one. If yours has a vapor tank behind the driver's rear wheel, make sure you get a tank that has all those tube connections (if you plan back to original).
