What is your water head or static level? In other words, how far down is the high water level before pumping, and how far down does it get after pumping for awhile?
For instance, my well is 250' deep, but the water is only 20' down from ground level until I start pumping - it can then go down to 60-70 feet pretty fast because it has a slow recovery. A jet pump would work okay for this, but the jet - or sometimes called the "ejector" has to be down in the well, not bolted to, or part of the pump like is often the case in cheap "shallow well" pumps.
If you cannot fit a submersed pump down near the well bottom, put a "deep" jet in. I'm assuming you're not using an old piston pump, but a more modern pump with a shallow-well jet bolted right to it, or integral with it. That won't work very well for a water head thats more than 25 feet down. If your pump is a "convertible", you can take the shallow jet off the pump, and put one down in the well instead. A jet takes two pipes, not one. So, for deeper well operation, maybe down to a 75 feet, the jet itself goes down near the well bottom and has two pipes coming up the well casing and hooking to the pump.
