I’ve been watching and reading a lot about them and I’m liking what I’m seeing. I have a disability and think they’d be easier for me to maintain than a canister filter
If you can perform water changes then I would say it's not just filtration. Water changes and filter maintenance all keep the fish healthy. I personally have different filters on my aquariums from sponge filters , HOB filters and a sump.
I plan on doing weekly water changes and possibly using a sponge filter also just to be able to have for a quarantine tank for now
Aqua Clear 110s are a very nice HOB. I really like the filter media options on those.
I haven't seen the Tidal before, but mostly I've been looking at sump stuff.
What do you like best about it? What attributes do you want?

One clear thing I love is the pump is mounted so it’s inside the tank and reduces noise also has a large media basket that’s easy to access. The pumps are also made by sicce which has been making high quality pumps for ages. It is more expensive than most hob’s but I’m hoping they’re worth it. I’m not sure I can budget a sump yet or access one due to my disability, but I will look into them
Sand and hobs often don't play well together from what I hear
Two ac110 or two of the biggest tidal models with a couple big sponges should be okay I would think but if you have sand substrate and it gets into the impellers then it can cause you grief
