Hi, Dana....I prefer to have both pumps on at the same time for takeoff and 
climbout to at least traffic pattern altitude. Then only one pump is needed. 
The reasoning for this is that if the pump quits on climbout, the engine 
will likely quit very fast....by the time the average pilot realizes the 
cause and takes action (by turning on the alternate pump), it's very likely 
that the engine would already have quit. Restarting could get hairy at 100 
feet.  Just my opinion, and believe me....I could be wrong.  Paul Conner
