Running returns high up in the water will help some. The siphon break is a good idea bit it will have to be checked regularly to avoid clogging @ the worst time. Ask me how I know. Agreed on putting a dedicated electrical line to the sump. Don't skimp on the bench size. You Always need extra room. The return pump can be hard plumbed to the sump & use a dual or single union ball valve so it can be removed without draining the sump.

Totally agree on checking the siphon break, algae tends to grow there.
I always like the breeder variety for sumps, my current sump is a 50 breeder.
