Pond ?

I'm going to install a small pond for myself. I've done a few using Aquascape stuff. But I wanted to be the guinea pig for trying other suppliers. I'd appreciate input from experienced installers on such things as the size pump they'd use (we have high electricity rates here- .14 cents/kwh- so efficency is key), type of filtration, suppliers you've been happy with etc..

Basic specs.
-13' x 18' surface area. Approx. 24" deep.
- due to grading issues there will be a "channel" that leads into the pond with a stone bridge over it. So that channel won't be much higher than the pond. (I did figure already that I need approx. 25x30 liner due to the channel.)
-Total stream length of 25 feet, 2-3 feet wide.
-Total rise of 5 feet from falls to top of the pond.

Thanks.
