Is the 1.5 HP two speed up rated (SP3210X152)? If so, then that would be a good choice but you could go with a smaller pump if you want even more energy savings. The Pentair Whisperflo WFDS-3/24 is a little smaller pump is about 5% more efficient than the SP3210X152. Any particular reason you chose that pump?
If you plan on going with solar at any point, you might think about a variable speed pump, especially if you are already planning on an automation controller. VS pumps make solar flow rate optimization much easier and in some cases can result in a lower lifetime cost. Plus with bubblers and deck jets, you have some flexibility in setting the height and look with a VS.
Also, there are pretty good cleaners out there that don't require booster pumps. ThePoolCleaner is one that comes to mind and operates at lower flow rates and pressure than most cleaners.
Once you get a schematic of your plumbing layout, post a picture.
