Drilling my tank.

I am going to drill my 50breeder tommorrow and I would like to know if I should drill the back of the tank and use bulkheads with elbows for the out flow or should I put in an internal over flow and drill the bottom of the tank? I already know the bottom is not tempered.What is your opinions and what are the advantages of one way over the other way?I will be using a 50 breeder for my sump also,with a mag 9.5 return pump,hooked to a scwd if it matters.

If possible I'd definately go straight through the bottom. When you put a durso pipe on it that will just make it drain that much faster since it doesn't have to go through a bunch of bends in the pipe.
