External, I would go with a GenX PCX30 or 40.... Internal, Mag 9.5 or 12.... But I also use both of my RR holes for drains. Sort of like a back up drain.

I use a mag 9.5, but may downsize to a mag 7.

You can kinda see my drains in this pic. Twin Durso's and my temporary return is a Mag 9.5. Have an Iwaki 40RLXT for my return when I fix a somewhat difficult plumbing issue.
