IMO and exp. go with an internal. buuuuut it all depends on what you plan on using it for. so! hurry up and tell us
I am planning to use it for the return of the water in the tank...I will need to power around 20ft.....What kind of pump would you guys recommend?
When you say 20 feet are you talking about the lenght the water must travel, or the total height? The higher you are pushing the water, the more powerful the pump must be. Some pumps are designed for high height (or head), others are designed for low head and are not very efficient pumping water high heights. The horizontal distance your water travels is much less a factor than the vertical distance when sizing a pump. I prefer internal pumps as they are easy to plumb. I like mag-drives (by Danner) for smaller jobs (up to 1500 gph or so). Danner now makes Hy-Drive pumps for larger jobs (3200 gph and up). Sequence makes a variety of good pumps too, some designed for low head, some for high.
How much water to do you want to move per hour, and how high will the water be going from the pump to the tank?

I am planning to use it to filter my 300 gallon pump.. the pump will be connected to a PVC that splits into 4 returns...
When I say 20 ft I am talking about the length of the water that is traveling. I guess the horizontal really doesn't that matter. How many GPH do you think I should move for my 300?
