The other thing I would be careful of, or at least I am, is pumps that pump too much water. As it would be full-time boondocker I don't want to pump any more than I absolutely have to to keep water usage at the lower side.
The water pump pumps as much water as you demand.  You control usage.  To conserve water, avoid opening the water taps.

This is true, but I still installed the lowest flow water variable speed water pump I could find.

I DO agree that purchasing more water pump (flow capacity) than is required by a particular installation is a waste of money.  As long as the pump can support the maximum flow rate allowed by your faucets or shower head or whatever, then it is perfectly adequate.
