I would suggest that you find a pump that produces the highest pressure and a flow of no less than about 3 gpm. Most of the pumps will have a lift of 10 feet so there is little difference there. Modern faucets work best with 50 to 60 psi. I replaced the galley faucet with one from the kitchen department at Lowes. It has a removable head and spray selector which really facilitates cleaning large dishes and pots in a small sink. The only problem is that when the pressure drops, the selector automatically switches back to straight stream. My 30 psi pump produces insufficient pressure to keep the spray setting selected. We also have a deck shower, enclosed shower, toilet, faucet in the head, and faucet in the forward birth. If any of these loads are used together then the pressure is diminished. If all you have or intend to have is one single, simple, low flow faucet then a 1 gpm, 30 psi pump will be sufficient. The only other consideration would be the amount of noise during operation. Some pumps have great dampening mounts and noise reducing features. Others, not so much. A higher flow and pressure pump will likely cause more noise which can be disturbing while trying to sleep at night.
