You should stop thinking about the gpm, gpm is going to be restricted by pipe sizes, faucets and many other things
bottom line is that if you have 40 psi from your 3/4" main a pump is needed
I understand you want to spend as little as possible which is why the pump makes most sense

Justin, the town is going to pay for connection to the larger water main. I think the problem is volume not pressure, so if connecting to the bigger line doesn't fix the problem then I will consider a pump. How much pressure should I have?
I have hear of the town making people remove the pumps, because it affects their neighbors water.
