Often the decision here comes down to whether your sump is drilled or not. I have to use a submersible pump as I don't have any holes to run an external pump thru!
I run my huge venturi skimmer with the intake for the pump as a U over the sump. I just upsized the tubing on the U to 1.5" and it shouldnt restrict the pump what soever. Just another opinion
