I like your set up, except I would go clam shell thru-hull, seacock, to a rhule pump that screws right into the seacock. I use mine in a year more than most do in 3, also if the pump goes, you are only changing out the cartridge at the top of the pump. I have not needed a sea strainer as the clamshell seems to keep most of the crap out.
I leave my pump on all the time, when you are running things are charging anyways. Those rule pumps don't draw much either. If you shut off when you run, and forget to turn it back on you might be up for a big disappointment when you look in your livewell. The delivery method for the water is important based on what type of bait you are trying to keep alive.
