My first brew sculpture

Ok, I am fixing to make the jump to AG brewing. I have a ghetto 5 gallon set up right. I plan on using this set up for a few brews (trial and error phase). In the mean time i will be starting work on my brew sculpture. I have looked for hours and hours on the DIY forum. I have a few ideas for both single tier and gravity rigs. My question to the senior guys is what are the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. Right now i leaning towards gravity system due the the cost of pumps and related equipment. Also if it helps i will be building with wood. If any one can chime in and give me some PROs and CONs and if you have a wood rig that is not posted in the DIY forum some ideas would be appreciated. Thanks....

I like the gravity setup. That is what im building. I will have one pump to pump my water from my boil kettle to the mash tun. and then from the mash tun to the sparge tank. Then I will use that same pump to pump wort through the chiller plate to my converted 15.5 gallon keg for fermentation. I will then use C02 to pump from the 15.5 gallon fermenter to the Cornelius kegs for slow carb and conditioning.
