I mean your options are internal and external, and both do the same job in terms of waste export.

The overflow itself doesn’t do anything special in terms of waste export; it’s just a place for water to drain out. As long as you have the proper size one, it shouldn’t matter.

Regularly clogged aqualifter pump? The subsequent hyposainity from ATO dumping into sump until there’s no top-off water left? Or the flooded room that inevitably comes from that at least several times per-year?
