Question Pump, plumbing question

Hello Folks,
Should I avoid reducing my planned return lines from 1.5" after a Sequence Dart pump to 3/4" or maintain at least a 1 1/4" I.D. and reduce it at bulkheads? LFS suggested any reductions would not adversely affect pump's performance.
Would the advantages of fewer T's/elbows thereby less backpressure with Spaflex justify additional cost of flex hose over pvc?
Also, does anyone use or have suggestions about 220V external return pumps to 'drive' a 90g, 40g sump, and a 30g fuge with minimal head?
Thanks,
Bill the OlGeezer
