Having done both of pressurized and gravity feed filtering, I recommend pressurized filter right after the settling tank for easy weekly maintenance work.

my old setup which require lots of maintenance work. pre-filter and biofilters are all gravity fed

pond water => settling tank => pre-filter with j-mats => pump => biofilter1 =>biofilter2 => water return to pond

new setup which reduced 80% of weekly maintenance work.

pond water => settling tank => pump => Ultima II => biofilter => return to pond

lots more time enjoying the fish
