A good general answer to a general question.
How about this specific infrequent but very possible driving event. Imagine your daily driver on some cloverleaf interchange: fuel tank at least 1/2 full, sustained left sweeping turn at around .9 G, 7000 rpm. There probably won't be fuel starvation. The hi rpm will tend to hold oil in the upper part of the engine and lower the oil level in the pan. The G's will push oil to the right side of the oil sump and away from the pickup.
This may seem picky but if an aftermarket oil pan will prevent engine damage in this situation, I want one.
