Remote Sump and water height

[MattJackson]

Hi all. I appreciate any help in advance.
Backstory is I have pretty bad knees and back but have the luxury of a space 10' away to set up a fishroom.
It's essential I have the sump raised so I can comfortably access it at an ergonomic height. Likley raised up on a 1.5' to 2' high bench.
What are the pros and cons of oprion A or B?

B would make it easier to have a filter sock, and make it so you dont have to drill the sump. How tall is your display?

B seems easier, but A has less flow resistance.
With hose it shouldn't matter, pvc and 90s might
B also would allow splitting flow
