Using a larger pump will give more volume for water flow of falls / stream and circulation which is never a bad thing, BUT restricting the pump flow with a valve only makes the pump work harder and NOT as efficient. The water flowing through pump also contributes to cooling, there by extending pump life. If flow rate is a concern split the return using a manifold with a valve to divert flow to either stream head or to a return below pond surface.
