To me it would depend on the price. I've had really good luck with Marineland products, but there are a ton of people that swear by fluval. If i were in the market I would probably go for the Marineland because of my past experience with their products unless the Fluval was a much better deal.
im running a 220 on my 30 gal. and it works like a charm. but its also not a 50 gal. thats 20 more its gotta move. And i know those fluval HOB also work very good. this is a hard one. if your on a budget i would run the HOB. Im just hooked on canister and sponge filters
true. i was one who experienced a leak. All i had to do to fix it was grease up all my O" rings with some Vaseline and it holds a seal. for some reason they arent including the lube for their O' rings
