Should I go above the slab with a raised platform or jack hammer out a
space to put level with top of foundation slab? I'm going to have to
go out through a cinderblock wall if it's above the level of the slab
or I could jack hammer out the entire "slot" to run it out through the
slab. Not sure how I would patch the slab afterwards so I'm leaning
to the raised floor.

I would go thru the slab floor for a neater job, raised platforms
always looked hacked to me.

or buy one of those pricey toilets that discharge above using a pump

Oh yeah, I should have thought of this. REAR DISCHARGE toilets are an
option.

I agree about the crappy look of the platforms!

I have a half bath that is raised about 8 inches above the rest of the
family room that is on a slab. It doesn't look funny because the
entire bathroom is raised, not just the toilet.

If you have access to an outside wall I would strongly recommend that
you go with one of these, they’re great.

Yeah, I had forgotten about these with my first post. Looks like the
way to go. Thanks!

It should be possible to jack-hammer a hole for the toilet and trench under
the slab to reach the hole.
