If pump is to be mounted below the water line and with a flooded suction port, a centrifugal pump is generally preferred. Centrifugal pumps are quiet running, require less amperage, and are less easily damaged by running dry than are rubber impeller type pumps. However, most centrifugal pumps do not have suction lift capability (must have flooded suction to function).
