For the Seafari you might want to consider mounting one of your pumps well forward near the keelson under the cuddy - somewhere between the bulkhead and the starboard storage well. It's a low point.
Like others I don't see the point in the varying mounting levels.
I have no problem with Rule. I have 2 of them in each boat. Nothing is foolproof. Poor wiring, fusing and battery management are more conducive to sinking than any particular brand of pump.
If you have a mooring or a slip, and choose a cycling pump mode, keep your boat attached to a power source -solar, electric, whatever. Most recreational boats sink while tied up in storms
