I'm building a sump as well and I just bought a mag-drive 9.5. Many places that I have seen use mag-drive. I also have the mag-drive 18 and love it.

Metfan, nice tank.as far as your sump is concerned you would have a much more effective bio by raising the bio-balls up out if the water. Setting it up as a Trickle Tower makes for better nitrification.
Just build a shelf out of egg crating just above the water line. Adding a peice of foam on top of the bio-balls will give you some mechanical filtration also
