As long as the pump can go down the PVC liner, it can be set at anywhere below the end of the liner. IN the liner won't allow proper flow to cool the pump and your present pump may not be able to be set that deep. If you need a new pump, I'd go that route before having a liner installed, that's because the casing may not be as bad as the driller thinks since he didn't clean the rust buildup off it. And then there is the part about iron causing corrosion of steel casing. Maybe you heard him wrong or are off a bit from what he said so call him and ask about that.
There are a few very solid reasons for steel casing, one is the fact that most rock bore wells (in to rock) aren't straight enough for plastic. Plus it usually takes decades for acidic water in a well to cause the casing problems. Bad electrical connections at the pump pigtail or damaged wiring or splices from the pump up the well can cause problems very soon though. Using the casing as a ground electrode may also.
BTW, we all should want to become as independent as we can and want less intrusion into our lives by the government.
