I prefer PVC. Easy to put together and cut. The tubing just turns into a pain.

Over time tubing can get dead spots in them in corners and need adjusted. I move mine some just in case every couple of months. I have no clue about bulkheads and can't help you there.
I've never used plastic shims in my life, always wood.
Here's a question for you, and I'm sure everyone who has a close quarters sump can help answer... I have to drop my sump in from above (with the reef octo nwb150 in it and there's not a lot of room under there)... How am I supposed to clean the chamber of the sump every 6 months as recommended? Do I just clean it while it's still in the sump? I would need to dismantle the entire tank to get it out of the cabinet in the stand if I have to remove it...yikes...??

I don't ever clean the reaction chamber. Just shield it from light so it doesn't grow a ton of algae in it and it will be fine.
Put something between the lamp and it. A piece of plastic, cardboard....something. Use your imagination.
