You can get an Intelliflo with a self-timer, that doesn't need a controller. VFD pumps, like the Intelliflo, are sort of one-size-fits-all, because they can be tuned to your pool. (Of course, a lot people do NOT do this correctly!)
With the Whisperflo, you have select the right pump up front. From the specs you mention, a 3/4HP or 1HP 2 speed may well be what you want. This company seems to have a very good price, and has shipped well, the times I've purchased from them:

A Whisperflo will be cheaper, more reliable, very quiet on low speed, and VERY efficient. (The Intelliflo IS a Whisperflo with a different motor!) It's better to get a small pump than an oversized one, UNLESS you have a spa or some other special equipment. However you'll need an external switch or timer for proper operation -- specifically, this one:Intermatic T10604R Pool/Spa Control Center T106M and T104MYou usually can NOT get the timer locally -- and pool guys often can't pick the right one. The switch will be available at a local electrical supply house, but again, most pool guys can't pick the right one. Note: your electrician will have to add a 4th wire to the whip, for 2 speed operation.
