What bulkhead do I need for 50g drum?

I have a Stenner pump coming in later this week to setup auto water change but was wondering what kind of bulkhead or whatever else I need for my 50g drum? It's one of those blue food grade drums. Plan on using 1/4" ro tubing to the pump.

Personally I'd just drill and tap for a barbed connector with male threads on the other end..
Or just buy a barbed bulkhead..

get uni-seals if the drum is concave make sure the seal is matched to the size of pipe your going to connect thru them.
