My vote would be for failing crank position sensor but not rule out the fuel pump relay. Best way to diagnose the CPS is to inspect it. When it fails, it first fails intermittently - which is what you are experiencing. Also, it tends to fail first when the engine is hot. It is located on the top of the bell housing where the engine & transmission meet. It has a fat black coax like cable that runs to a connector on the firewall. Inspect it looking for cracked of flaking insulation. If you find the insulation flaking off, it's time for a replacment.

To diagnose the fuel pump relay, when it is failing do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key to the II position? I always kind of make it a habit to listen for this any time I goe to start the car. WHen it stalls, see if you can hear it.
