hi cifu kit,
Ya, pump feed to BS/BH is a good option; Another option is, I have read in articles they have bottom drain designed for liner, where it has an additional ring to screw on top of the liner to seal it, then you can build a seperate brick/concrete filter somewhere; in this way, your filter can be shallower, say 3-4ft deep, thus you save in concrete/bricks. But will have to mail order in the bottom drain. They also have to lay some kind of underlay to prevent sharp objects from piercing the liner.
Robert is definitely a liner guy, he made a nice pond with it at a fraction of the cost of concrete pond, must learn from him.

concrete vs brick vs liner
If FG is out of the question then I'll still use concrete then use thick preformed liner. Again it will be pricey but no wrinkles
, so am not able to answer your question. One thing always on my mind is that, can liners be joined together if it is not big enough to cover the base and the sides of the pond? Another is how to construct a submerged filter with liners? I suppose there are special seals to make the holes created water tight? 
Liner need to lay on something solids in order to be effective. Liner cannot do 90degree wall too and it will get tear up if that is the case due to directional stress. Not unless you have a concrete wall behind the liner
