For external pumps I ran a Reeflo Dart for 5 years without issue. A little noiser than the SpeedWave that replaced it.
so, you can adjust the output of the speedwave? the mid model is backordered from my LFS, but the big model is available as per their website. if its adjustable i'd consider that, suppose its future proofing for a larger system. :P
