I think the key is to get a high-powered pump so it never really needs to be upgraded. If you get a low gph pump, it may not take well to adding things such as multiple radiators and/or waterblocks to the system. I honestly don't believe that an ultra-high flowrate is necessary. However, you don't want a really low flowrate. Something like an Eheim 1250 is perfect. However, there have been no formal tests to prove either way.
