I'm in need of a decent return pump for my sump. I'm thinking of the following:

Quiet One 5000

Little Giant PES-1000-PW

RIO 26HF

I can get all of these for just under $100. That's about my budget. Will be going in a 55 gal sump pumping about 1000 GPH back to my tank (about 5 ft. of head). I'm thinking submergible pump for ease of maintenence and hopefully it'll be a bit less noisy.

Anything else I should be looking at? And what's going to last me the longest and be most reliable out of these?
 
I have a Quiet One 4000HH and it seems like a nice pump. It is very quiet compared to my other pumps.
