Durso:

The pipe length on the durso regulates how high the water level is in your aquarium, so it depends on what the measurements of your tank are and the height at which you want the water.

Pump size depends on the size of your bulkheads. The size of the pipe can limit the amount of water flow that you can have. How big are the bulkheads?

You don't necessarily have to have a threaded bulkhead. It will work just as well.

if there were to be a power outage how can i stop water coming down from the return since its lower then my overflow? a larger sump?

You set the height of your durso standpipe to stop flowing water at a certain level should the power go out. You should always have some extra room in the sump specifically for that.

Like pharoah said there should be extra space in your sump for water to continue draining in the event of a power outage. As far as the return lines, the easiest way to prevent overflow in the sump is to have the return tips as high as possible in the tank.
