Plumbing Question - Need help before tomorrow

Hello all!



I am changing out my return pump with a reeflo snapper pump (very similar to dart/snapper hybrid).



Here is a picture of how I was trying to plumb it originally but unfortunately there is not enough room to put the valve on vertically.









I have 2 other ideas on what to do and what your advice on if I should do one or the other.



Option A:

The first idea is to start the plumbing out of the pump on a barb (flex line), then take the flex line (in about 3 feet) into the valve, take flex line out of the valve, and continue to the top of the tank.



Option B:

The second idea is that I would put a 90 degree turn directly on the nipple coming out of the top of the pump and then hook that 90 degree into the valve immediately. Here is a picture of my thought process:









My fear with this one is that there is a lot of head pressure loss (I am no mathematician) or there would be too much pressure coming out of the pump to turn it at a 90 degree angle immediately into the valve.
