Depends completely on how far and in what directions the water needs to be moved to get back to the tank.
The fact I can tell you is you'll need to end up with between 160-320 GPH to have enough flow through your sump and filters. It's a rough target - just remember that there's little to no advantage to having a lot more flow than that.
The manufacturer should publish performance numbers (or a chart) that will give you a good idea of a pump's capabilities under the load of plumbing.
We can also help if you give us that info.

If you're just looking at Sicce for example, their MultiQuiet 1300 is only rated for the flow you'd need....plumbing definitely reduces performance, so you'll need at least the Multi Quiet 2500. I think the chart is in metric, so you'll need to convert either that or the pump's flow rate so you're in consistent units when making judgements and comparisons.
Thing is, that pump may be too much (once you calculate for your plumbing "head loss") and you could end up needing a seperate valve to slow it down. This is OK, but it's also OK pre-figure your numbers and see if there's a pump that directly meets your needs with no add-ons. Usually, this is best if you have options.
