    a few things you need to consider, and these are just preliminary considerations. i think you have not put too much time into your business plan, no?

    what glycol machine? two pumps? 1 hp? 1/7 hp? something else? what kind of pumps? 1/3 hp marathon with a procon pump or an agitator? leave that up to your installer. these are things you don't determine until you have the system requirements set, then you design the system based on those requirements. not the other way around.

    how many lines? hmm. well what is your budget? what is your business plan? how many kegs can you afford? how many kegs can you fit into your cooler? how many back up kegs? and how much cash do you have available to buy all that beer? ( because the distro is not going to give you a credit account. COD buddy! )

    what is your vertical lift?
    FOBs?
    blender?
    nitro option?

    to be honest, your question is indicative of a someone who has really little idea of what a long draw system requires. 120' is a really long draw, and you should get some idea of what you are getting into. Your inquiry is along the lines of "what is the best house to buy?" or "what is the best beer?" well. it depends.

    i am fairly certain if you are in the process of installing 120' of trunk line and you do not know what chiller meets your needs, you are way ahead of the system and should be humble and stop to perhaps pay for professional advice. i mean, how much experience do you have installing long draw draft systems? be honest with yourself and do it right.

    feel free to ask questions.
    Cheers.
