Your problem sounds more like a radio suppression relay or crank position sensor problem than a fuel pump problem; both are known to be intermittant and temperature sensitive. RTFAQ.
Your mech does sound a little pricey; there's ~$500 parts and 2 hrs. labor involved in changing both pumps. Pump metal has to go through the filter, which is VERY unlikely, to get to the engine.
The greatest risk in waiting is in your radiator, failure of which can destroy the engine; they're only a couple hundred bucks, and are easy to change.
