Believe me, you can skip the -10 line from the pump to the carb and save a few bucks and also probably avoid some routing issues. A -8 hose (1/2" line) will support more power than you intend to make and also flow more fuel than the pump can deliver even at freeflow, I think Aeromotive was just being extra cautious. Jody made ~1200hp using a -8 feed line on his yellow Camaro.
While -8 is fine on the pressure side of the pump be sure you use -10 line minimum on the suction side of the pump.
If you skip the controller and run a good cooler I think you'll have zero issues. I don't have a cooler installed (yet) and haven't had a problem (yet) but plan to add one sometime soon.
It's also not a problem routing the relay near the power source, in fact, it's a bit safer as the wire "downwind" of the relay isn't energized when the relay is off. I'd just mount it where it can be easily accessed in the event it fails.
