If I'm going to add a 4th pump for my IBS, is there any issue with using the Johnson vs the Jabsco? The Johnson has a higher flow and is still ignition protected, plus it's quite a bit cheaper.

Also, rookie question, but do I need any NPT to barb fittings, or will the 1" hose slide over the outlets of the pump directly (with hose clamps, obviously)?
Lastly, should I add a "T" to the thru hull for my center sack to add the pump or should I add another thru hull? If the former, where can I get a bronze threaded "T"? Didn't see one at Wakemakers. If the latter, where is the best place to add it? The fill time isn't a huge concern as the 1100's in the rear will take a while to fill anyway. Mainly looking at the Johnson due to price, the faster flow is just a bonus.
