If not already planned, a full bore shut off valve in the discharge pipe close to the pump unit plus a suitable rodding point just in case.
Not a direct comparison to your proposal Jeffrey but I have a small float pump that pumps the effluent from the septic tank up to a manhole up the top of the garden which serves two soakaway drainage fields, 32mm blue pipe all the way, non return valve fitted near the top of the pump's vertical riser, from then on it's a gentle slope upwards to the above mention manhole, it about a 30 meter run all told, it gushes out the other end plenty.
