Vectra is a very quiet pump. I'd be surprised if you have any vibrations problems. I've switched completely over to ultra flex PVC for both drains and returns. Avoids the inconvenience of elbows and barb fittings. Vectra is pressure-impaired, so anything you can do to reduce friction losses would be helpful.
