There are a lot of variables that can effect the answer to your question. Tank size and shape?
If you only go with 3-4 gallon tank you should use a round tank. It allows your bait to still swim without crashing into the sides. Don't think I would go with any less than a 5 gallon bucket.
FF draw?
A color or backlit grayscale FF will probably draw about the same as the pump and limit you to about 5-6 hours running both on a 7ah battery.
Type and amount of bait you plan on using?
Sardines require a lot of oxygen, and a scoop from the bait barge will require a lot of water flow. Macks and Squid are not so tempermental.

Get a dip net for scooping your bait out of the tank, it really helps with limited back movement.
