As far a pumps go, there are many to choose from on the market. I would suggest making sure of your design needs based on length, width depth, gallonage before buying the pump(s). Sue makes a very valid point about redundancy. Here it is very important as she mentioned. This covers you for mechanical breakdowns which usually have a habit of happening when you least expect them (especially while you're asleep or away for any period of time) Murphy's law presides over these things for sure. Also, you should match your settling chamber (vortex) to the size pump and water flow. This is extremely important as too high a flow rate defeats the purpose of a "settling" chamber!
Let us know what size you plan to make this pond so we can continue with the free advice. Just remember it's free so it's probably not worth a damn in the long run!! LOL
