It's all in the operator 99% of the time as they work good if you know what you are doing and how to set them up and maintain them! Make sure everything is sealed properly as it's most likely coming from your lid and how the pipe is seated inside it.
Fx6 problems

I second a very light coating of silicon grease on your gaskets, if you suspect you have a small leak that is letting air into your system. Maybe a pinhole sized hole somewhere on your supply line that is acting as a venturi?
I have had my FX-6 for a little over a year now and have not had a single issue with it, works like a charm.... I actually prefer it to my Eheim because of the filter layout and ease to get it primed...

Yes although there are just as many eheim troubleshooting threads as fluval ones.
Nothing is perfect or lasts forever, not even the overpriced German stuff. Lol.

Manny is a friend outside of the forums so its just ball busting. That said, my 2262s, 2250s, and 2217 all work like a charm
For the most part yes. The vast majority of threads with problem Eheim are the fancy models. The classucs don't have any difficulty to speak if because they are simple. Just like most problem Fluval threads are on FX. Because they have design issues where all of the smaller ones do not.

The x6 I have came highly recommended by my LFS guy. I haven't had an opportunity to complain for the past two years that I've had it. That said, I've never had problems with my Eheims either.

Yet another misinformation about Eheim being fail proof. Should I dig up a recent thread about a leaking Eheim ?
