I wonder if it's worth having both a submersible and a pedestal in the same hole if there's room for the bases. Each pump would need its own one way valve before teeing the pipes together, but if you set the pedestal to come on an inch higher than the submersible you'd be covered for any failure of the submersible (but not for total power failure).
When I put my new furnace in, I set in on 11" stacks of concrete blocks. When I added the indoor coil for a heat pump 2 years later, I had to ditch the blocks to make room for the extra height. Now it sits on 3/4" of rubber patio pavers. It turns out my sump never rises above floor level in power failures, but sometimes rainwater seeps into the basement opposite the sump, and runs past the furnace to the sump, usually when I forget to replace the outspouts for the gutters after I mow the yard.
