Bulkhead out of the sump - slip or threaded?

I got a 1 inch threaded bulkhead for the sump drain to the pump, but the fittings I picked up at HD don't seem to fully fit inside and they are almost impossible to get back out. So I was thinking just to get a slip and glue the PVC pipe.
Does it make a difference?

Also I got ball valves, unions, ellbows, 90's at HD, should I return those and get Schedule 80 from Savko instead.

I had similar case. The fitting was leaking so I bought a slip BH and just glue it.

That's what I was thinking too.

Any comments on Sch 80 vs Sch 40?
