Pertronix if you want to get the most reliability, or buy 2x accuspark and keep the other in your bus as a spare. Plus some points.
Stay away from Powerspark though, those can easily die from a surge when you connect the battery up.
Quite a few of us including me have gone back to points.

Or spend a bit more and fit a 123 distributor.

We’ve had a 123 distributor in our van for 10+ years now with faultless performance since the day it was fitted so I’d second this

If you’re running a 34PICT3, the stock distributor is a 211 905 205Q. The “curve” (?) is made for a bus. I use one of those with a Pertronix and am happy. There really is a difference between distributors intended for Beetles and ones intended for a bus.

I had a Pertronix in our bus fitted by the PO, it expired after we had the bus for about 4 years so don't know how old it really was. Decided Petronix was too expensive so went with a Powerspark Bosch 034 SVDA replacement (£65), been brilliant and have had the battery out and back in several times without any issues.

I bought the same and it lasted 14 months. It died after I'd taken the battery out for reconditioning. After emailing them about it, they were very unhelpful and even abusive. I won't buy from them again.

+1 for Accuspark. Had them on both my buses and never had an issue.
