How much does this change as more and more DC powered equipment makes it’s way into the industry?

inwoold think a dc pump with a power supply that has a max output would be safer than a 110v return pump.

I had one false trigger that took out my return up and since the heater was in the sump it because worthless also

I think that's fine to put DC pumps on a standard receptacle. They are not line voltage.

Another best practice would be separate GFCIs, so if something trips, the whole tank doesn't go down.
