    I would go with the 1 HP 2 speed SP2607X102S. If the old 1 HP was good enough, then this one should be as well.

    Yeah, the 1 hp should be more than good enough. I've got that one for 9 years now.

    "The piping is 2 1/2" both intake and out."

    I assume, OD (outside diameter), which would mean that it's nominally 2" PVC. That's a good size, but the nomenclature will be important when you go to get all the bits and pieces.

    If you REALLY mean 2.5" pipe . . . you are into some really oddball stuff, and should make sure of your replacement fittings BEFORE you cut anything loose.
