either way will work. I would go tank to sump to fuge to sump to tank. With my setup if I went tank to fuge to sump to tank my filter socks will trap any pods and inverts before they could go back to the main tank.
you can go with a remote DSB in the fuge with a 6 + inch dsb or no sand bed at all. I have used both and cannot really tell a difference, but I over do it on waterchanges. Well I guess I really didnt answer your question, Flip a coin
