Any benefits in using spraybar?

Does anyone have any views on using a spraybar vs just a pipe coming into the tank? I am putting my third pump into my tank tonight in less than a year. My first one, granted was old but this last one was brand new. I have it plumbed up to the spray bar with flex tubing and into a 24" x 1/2" spray bar, with a 1/8" hole drilled every inch. Could this be too much back pressure for the pump, causing them to burn out? what are some other options out there? Thanks

I think Witty has spray bars in his tank and likes them. It didn't work out for me and i ended up useing the lock line. Lock line also has a spray bar nodules.
