Plumbing / Re: Getting ready to plumb: Feed & return question

I have heard of people do  it both ways i would think if you return it at the top it would get the water you are returning back up to temperature quicker just as long as the bottom ports are off the bottom where it wont pick up any sediment off the bottom i think this is how i am going to plumb mine if i ever get the welding done and get it to the house

what do you guys recomend as far as a pump   the run is going to be about 150' the stove will be about 6' higher than the exchanger  and the exchanger is probaly going to be 100,000 btu   also what is better for the hot water a sidearm or a plate type
thanks for all the help i am getting close
