I say go for the bog.

I guess I'm weird for facing the slits up. My thinking was if any muck does happen to build up, the slits won't get blocked.

I made the slits in my 2 inch PVC pipes 1-1/2 inches apart and cut 2/3 through their diameter. I have two pipes, each 10 feet long.
I wouldn't worry too much about spreading the slits in various increments or distances from the pump or even any type of elbows being restrictive. I was worried about using standard elbows as verses wide sweeps, but no need to worry. When I open my clean-out stacks, the amount of power or pressure is tremendous.
Hey @brokensword, I'm not arguing with myself this time!
I want to make a correction....

I wrote that I cut the slits 2/3 through the pipes. That was incorrect. I actually cut them only 1/3 through the diameter.
