Do you think I should hook up to the overflow before the filter roller or add it to a manifold or just use a separate pump ?

You can do from your manifold but your best bet is to use a small pump this way you have more control of it
 
I would do a manifold or separate pump. The advantage to the separate pump is that when you shut it off to do maintenance, you don't affect the overall flow of the system and you don't have to re-adjust the shutoff valve to get the flow just where you want it (which may or may not be a hassle, depends on how you set it up on the manifold)
 
I think I'm just doing another pump I'll see where it will fit when I get it
