Are you installing a pressure tank on the system?  I ask because that may 
allow a smaller pump to work and keep it from cycling excessively.  One 
fellow I met had 4 large (400 liter/100 gal) pressure tanks plumbed in on a 
grazing farm much like yours.  If it was me I'd look at a pump you can 
easily get serviced locally and make that your deciding factor, it's about 
as sound as anything else.
