Suggestions on filter choice

I currently have a 75 gallon, but will be upgrading likely to a 125 when I move in about 3 months. My plans are for a much larger tank (either bought or built), but likely not for 1+years down the road. So my thoughts were to get a standard 125 that could be used as a sump as opposed to one with a built in overflow when the time comes to upgrade again. So, I currently have a fluval 406, aquaclear 110, and a coral life uv 18watt on the 75. The ac 110 has given me all kinds of issues with noise (probably my fault due to sand in the tank) so I am not moving it over.. I wanted to add a sump with one of these but was not sure how well they work? My other option was buying another canister like an fx6, but like the item of a sump to hide the uv and heaters. I was also debating just adding a couple hob filters that may be a little more quiet than the ac... Anyways I was hoping someone might have some experience with the overflow boxes and could give some feedback. Thanks

Overflow boxes tend to work well, eshops are cheap but there are better options available depending on your budget

My budget will flex to accommodate what is recommended...lol

Thanks for the feedback. It seems most overflow boxes regardless of brand are close in price ($50 give or take). I'm not sure if I'm just going to make a wet/dry out of my 75 or buy the whole setup, that's where things seem to get pricy. AROS, thanks for all the feedback, I'll definitely look into Deep Blue. I will also be running the fluval 406 with it and the uv sterilizer, will probably upgrade to a 36 watt though. Divemaster99 - very interesting, never heard of that.
