Am I going to get a performance gain or loss going with a mag 5 instead of a 3? A forum search wasn't too fruitful as it didn't seem to let me differentiate between the 3 and 5 in a search.

Depends on the budget. You get more flow at shorter head heights. look.

You're going to get a performance match. In the range in which the pumps will operate, there is no difference in performance. You'll simply be wasting some electricity with the Mag 5.
