Looking for the best possible configuration for plumbing.
Tank has 3 x 1” drains and 2 x 3/4 inch returns.

Should I do a bean animal and like he did increase the pipe size to 1.5inch pipes or just do a bean animal and do all plumbing in 1” Or should I do 3 durso style drains?

Return I was going to do one pump and split them vs running 2 separate pumps.

How big is your tank?
 
In the absence of all but cursory information, my cursory answer would be ..... bean is better

That is my plan on my 200, 3x 1.5" drains with single 1.5" return pump splitting into 2 1" lines right under the tank (basement sump).
