Darts being 170 watts is news to me. My standard Darts run 130 watts, the hybrid 4300 gph run 150. Regardless, any pump will work- one thing that seems to be a constant here is redundancy - I'd definitely run 2 pumps over 1 regardless of what kind they are. IF you have m/f rays I'd plan on another tank in the future, so oversize the pumps now cause you may need them later that way you can just divert some water to the other tank (pups or time out when they get mature)
The RFS - I never even messed with mine, it worked right out of the gate, I'm sure with some fine tuning they could become VERY efficient.
What are your plans for the RFS? Have anything in mind for the inner tube?
Personally I'd use a rubbermaid tub for the 3rd chamber rather then a drum, not sure you're going to have much expansion room in the last drum for all this water when power cuts.
