As a heavy user of CLs back in the day, all of these will leak and drip over time - not externally (although that does happen) but through the valve in the pipe. They are fine for replacing a pump within a few minutes or an hour, but if you are wanting to close them for a week or two, then you might need a bucket that you empty daily. Most of these are not saltwater friendly for long.
You can also work them open and closed every week, or so, to keep them from seizing up.
The best thing is to have a identical spare backup pump on hand to do the plumb job quickly... and not use a pump known to leak like a ReeFlow, or whatever.
I got to where I kept the intake and output in the top third of the tank so that if you need to do major surgery, you only have to remove 1/3 of the water to get it below the intake and output lines.
