Long time reader, first time poster.

I'm building a water change mixing station, similar to the picture below where RODI is up top, gravity fed to the bottom brute container. I'm trying to decide which pump to get to 1) mix the water 2) move the water to my display tank.

The mixing station is in the basement, my tank is on the main floor. My display tank is approx 43 feet from the mixing station (9 feet vertically).

I am looking at panworld water pumps but there are a number of different models (link here) Can anyone suggest a panworld pump model that would be sufficient to move water from the mixing station to my display tank?

The 30px is rated to 10.1ft of head. It would probably do but i would choose the 40px for a slightly oversized setup due to friction loss.
Its rated at 13.5ft of head.

Agree on 40Px as i have two different units. The one I currently use is a single drum as with yours.
