The most common option is to run a LP external lift pump which fills a surge tank, which in turn feeds an external HP pump. If you're going to the trouble of installing an in-tank pump you might as well chuck a HP pump in there and forget about the LP pump entirely. This is how 99% of factory EFI cars are set up.
The other option is to just run an external HP pump and forget about the LP pump and surge tank entirely. Depending on the design of the fuel tank this can work out fine. This is how my RA23 Celica is set up at the moment and I've never had fuel surge problems.
Yes you can buy pre-made surge tanks but most of them are ludicrously overpriced. If you're budget conscious you're probably better off getting one made by a general engineering shop. At the end of the day it's just an enclosed stainless steel pipe with a few threaded fittings in it, but some people will try to charge a few hundred bucks for them!
