Would you recommend them as good filters because I think that I will get another filter for my 125
Filtration for 125?

Yup I would recommend a 2217 for a 125 gallon. Only annoying thing at all about them is to prime them, you have to suck the intake and then quickly attach to filter. WHeras the sunsun you have a built in pump. But the eheims are the most reliable piece of aquarium equipment I have ever owned. Longest lasting by far. I used to have an fx5, I liked that too. But I'd recommend the eheim over it.
Might have to get one, is there any way to bypass the priming thing, do they make attachments to self prime it or is it the only way
Only way that I know of, but eheim does make other filter lines now, I think they have a "pro" line which self primes. When I bought mine the classics were the only/most popular ones. I trust eheim as a brand though, I think all their filters will be as good quality.
I don’t mind the priming but I prefer a filter with trays as I find it easier to clean
My old roommate had a SunSun that leaked on him and destroyed the particle board stand the tank was on. You really have to make sure the trays are in right and the such with these filter, was just a couple grains of sand that caused the leak, and destruction of the stand.
