For an internal pump, ocean runners are very nice. Low watts and very quiet. I use an OR 2500 as the return pump on my 90 gallon. Eheims are also nice. The OR 2500 flow is comparable to the Eheim 1260 and is about half the price. The eheim is quiet and is a workhorse, though.
i have a 20 gallon and am looking for a pump for my 20 gallon sump, i am planning to drill the return lines and i want to get a fair amount of flow but not oo much, any links to where you guys bought these pumps? thanks alot

Go with Eheim, forget about the Mags!! I just replaced my Mag18 with an Eheim 1262; I get less power consumption, more flow, less noise, and less heat transfer. I will never get a Mag again!!
The return hole doesn't matter that much for a tank that size. I'd drill it for a 3/4" bulkhead. Not sure what size that means the hole should be. The output coming off of the eheim 1250 is a 1/2" barb if I recall correctly.
