Reason I am asking about the pump is I'm considering building a small forage pond near our main pond. My thought is to have a continuous flow from the main to the forage and let the return be a rock filled stream/mini-waterfall. Looking for what the best pump would be.

I see no pros have stopped by yet to offer advice on your diffuser placement. FWIW assuming you don't see a lot of snow and ice on your pond, I would place the diffuser in that deepest 14 foot area in front of the dock. With all the fish you want in that size pond, I would think you don't want any low DO deep area not being utilized.
