Eheim is very good. Having an external thermostat is a nice fail safe to have as well:

I keep hearing Sera makes a very well built heater. I personally run any brand. Upgrade them with a ZooMed Mag-clip and or one of those plastic cage protectors, keep the dial end out of the water and even a cheapy will last like a "good" one.

whatever, as long as it has an external thermostat.

without an exernal, I use/have an assortment of fluval caged ones and eheim ones

They're not fancy, don't have any special gadgets, are relatively cheap, seem pretty tough and I've always had good results with Aqueon Pro heaters.
