One thing you may want to keep in mind when considering pulling a vaccuum on a vessel made for pressure......
Pressure vessels are NOT designed to handle vaccuum and could very well end in disastrous results.
I know this doesn't answer your question about what pump you should choose and I apologise for that, but this is something some folks DO NOT realise.
Your question about pump selection will be more a matter of how much you are willing to spend.
The amount of vaccuum you would like to pull and how quickly you would like to reach that vaccuum point will give you a reasonable selection of pump choices......and a price range.
