I had to do two 90s with 2" spaflex. In the end, it came out nice, but hard PVC would have been easier.

Spaflex certainly has its place - I used it for a long return run to save plumbing time, head loss, and reduce chances of leaks. Costs signficantly more, but was well worth it to me.

Can't go wrong with a ER, but you can get much of the performance for significantly less from ASM, Octopus, and others.

Don't you need a HOB model though?

Such setups are very common. I was not so lucky, and had to run my wet room about 45' on the opposite end of my house from my tank.

Yes - the pump can be too big. It can potentially flow so much faster than your drain that it could run itself near dry. Also, you have to consider how much flow your outlet port(s) can handle. In my...
