Battle of the Canister Filters

[sp33dstix]

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to see every ones opinions about a few canister filters I plan on purchasing. Which ones are the best for their price, which ones have been lasting the longest, which are easiest to maintain, just anything about these filters would be great. The only one I have any experience with is the fluval 04's. These are also filters that are readily available for me at prices I can manage. Thanks

Right now I am drifting towards the XP3 because of the price.

I have an eheim 2260, a fluval 404 (I think), and a cpl of magnum 350s I have had no problems with any of them and I am quite satisfied with each. I guess it all depends on what you are looking to get out of the filter.

Eheim for me but I have only used Eheim, I guess they Cost more but I have not had any issues with any of my filters.
