pumps - flow vs. presure

I got some information on sequence pumps, it was the barracuda vs. the wahoo. One comment made was "The Barracuda is more flow biased where the wahoo is more pressure biased"

Can someone explain that?

I'm putting in a basement pump. I will have a a good 15' of head to the display tank up stairs. I also want to split off thru a chiller and also connect a frag tank in the basement as well.

I may need to throttle it back some so the pump I select should be able to handle being slightly restricted.

I'm not looking for this to me my main flow in the display, I have 2 tunze's on a controller but I do have a lifereef dual overflow.

Anyway, in this scenario which would be a better pump, the barracuda or the wahoo ( or something else)

Thanks much!
