Sunsun models are 302,303,304 with the "B" units having the built in UV light. The 302B is only $45, 303B $79, 304B about $115 if I remember. 220, 380, 530 gph respectively. I have the 303B as a spare for my C360. If I knew around Sunsun earlier, I would have just bought it. Since all regular canisters have $20 in plastic parts and a $10 water pump the size of your fist, no need to pay $150-$200 for these units.
for a simple hang on filter, you can't beat the realibilty and media space of an AquaClear 110. especially given it will last 15 years.
+1 on the ac110! i have one on my 55 and it alone kept the water spotless, i do have a 30gallon filter on the other side to keep water flowing and from stuff getting stuck to the bottom in the sand.
DIY drawer system wet/dry sump for 90g+ tanks is cheap, and easier than a HOB to maintain. Overflows work well..... there are many PCV overflow builds here that are $20 or less to build.
