Imo here is my pros and cons
Insump - Pros- Less noise, if the pump leaks it leaks into the sump, can add needed heat.
Cons - Can add heat if not wanted, Chance of stray current.
External -Pros - Not much added heat, usually provides more flow
Cons - Noisier, if pump develops leak it could cause water damage.
Im sure there are more but those are just the few I considered when deciding to run a pump.

Yeah I'm leaning more towards insump. it will take a little more room inside of the sump but I'm OK with that. I'm sure for bigger systems a big hard pipe pump would b ideal but I just have a55g right now. I always keep temp in my apartment around 73-75 so the heat shouldn't b an issue.
