When I set up my livewell I spent a bit more than most (ie $100) on the pump because;

1. It can run dry and not burn out
2. There is no pump hanging off the transom (bilge setup)
3. 3 year warranty
4. You can put it anywhere you want

Other things to remember;

*Make sure you overflow is big enough to cope with incoming water
*Consider a timer
*Make the design so all the water will drain out (pump out livewell and aerator combo head is great for this)
*Make sure your lids seal or lots of water ends up in the hull or on the carpet

Here's a photo of the pump out

If I think of anything else I'll post up

Here's a link to the sort on inline pump I'm on about
