Default Pond pumps: mans or low-voltage?

Any opinions on the relative merits of mains-powered pond pumps as opposed
to low-voltage DC? One advantage of the latter might be that it's safer to
run non-mains cabling into the garden (though presumably it still has to be
buried and protected); one disadvantage could be possible voltage drop, I
suppose. I'd be looking at a run of around fifty feet.

Thanks.
