Those Facet pumps are junk IMO. I had one in my CSX and when it started giving me trouble, Facet's customer tech help was horrible and they just wanted me to buy a new one.

As for the wiring, you should definitely have them on a relay. A standard Bosch 4/5 pin relay should be plenty for both pumps. Those pumps shouldn't draw more than 12-13 amps each. You should try to have the relay in the back of the car somewhere. Grab the main hot lead right off the battery, and use the wire from the car's harness as the trigger.
All right - sounds like a plan.
