Either one will work - the common response here is that you should get as large a filter as you can afford / fit in. 2 Speed motor on both pumps is a wash and a plus, although we would also say that you really don't need 1.5 HP - a 1 HP (or smaller) 2 speed would be plenty.

Just ensure that you have "enough" electric power to run the pump, with enough wire to carry it with at least 12 guage wire.

The SD-60 unit is the right one for your pool. The 22" Waterway is too small. It only holds 150 lbs of sand.

Thanks bama i was hoping u would chime in i was thinking that cause the sd60 holds 250ponds and it is close to what u have. Do u know if that will need 220 or 110.
Thanks

Those pumps looked like they were 120V pumps - I know the Pentair Dynamo is .

Yeah, those pumps are 120 volt.
