Which pump to use?

Hi, for an aquarium i'm setting up I need a pump to travel from my sump into a reservoir next to it used for sand and a refugium.

I'm looking at these different pumps

Thoughts? I'm thinking any of these should work... but do all of them have the ability to attach tubing to the outtake? Which would you suggest. The water is not traveling far and doesn't need high GPH.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It really comes down to the vertical distance the water will need to be pushed. Look at the "max height" shown for each pump and decide what you think will work.
