I have 2 350's running on other tanks and sometimes I have to check and see if they are running cuz they are so quiet.

Okay.... I compromised. I ordered a Fluval E 300Watt heater, API Master test kit and 2 Penguin 350's.... If they cannot keep up or water tests come back not correct then I will add on a Canister filter in the near future. Sound like a good plan?
Seems like a decent plan to me, one thing I've noticed is that the hob's are pretty good at mech filtration (although require more frequent cleanings) but can lack in bio filtration. I know they have the biowheel but I'd recommend some biomax for them to add some bio filtration or even buy a sponge filter (or make one-theyre cheap either way) if you use an air pump. And you don''t need to buy the replacement pads made specifically for them, look into some filter media idea (like filter fluff, pot scrubbies, you can even buy the foam for aquaclear filters and cut it to size)
Alright! I have my 2 350's up and running an the Fluval E 300 in the tank. The 350's are VERY quiet and I couldn't be happier. Let's hope that my numbers test out alright on a consistent basis and if not then I'll order a Fluval 406 as well. Thanks for the help guys, I'll put up a picture tomorrow.
