I think your return pipe only needs to be as large as the output on your pump, I think 3/4" is about minimum. You can run it whereever you want, really. I would do your overflow a bit larger in case it plugs up, and also because it only has gravity to move it and therefore may not be as high of a velocity as the return pump. I have a Mag12 return, 1" return pipes and a 2" overflow pipe.

I also have a pine Billy and designed my stand to blend in with my room, which is all pine.
