My 1993 Jeep Cherokee kept stalling out, so I removed the fuel pump/sending unit, and left the screen and sending unit float behind, so had to remove the gas tank - The inside of the gas tank doesn't look too bad as far as I can see, with alittle bit of tiny debri in the reservoir area - My question is, should I have the tank cleaned or clean the tank myself, or just reinstall the pump and let it go like it is????

I have never ventured to do this, i always hire a mechanic to do such works.

I agree with the first post, it's unlikely that your Jeep is stalling because of a problem with your gas tank. Chance are, it's somewhere up in the fuel line or could be your fuel pump. Cleaning a tank can be dangerous and should be done by a professional (if you aren't one), so if you really want it clean, I would send it in to someone. But, generally, unless there is a lot of debris in the tank or it's leaking, there's no reason to really clean it out.
