I ended up using a sump pump from home depot for under $90. It is an all plastic construction and it pumps 3300gph @ 4ft of head. I had to install a diverter valve cause my overflow can't keep up.

Good points: Quiet, Great flow. Won't rust, cheap, power consumtion low, easy to remove for cleaning.

Bad points: Way too much power, Added heat to the system (although it still hasen't passed 80, I have to have my ebo jager at 50 to balance out the tank) Takes up some space in the sump
