Go with the hype if money allows if not Fluvals also good, just basically leaks brand new sitting in the box at the store! just kidding
hype was just saying that everyone likes them, the brands just eheim. What size tank are you looking to put one on?
What size tank u putting it on eheim as lots of different size filters . Type in eheim and fx5 in search bar and u will find lots of info on them both
Ya thats what I was getting to, let us know what tank size and we could help you out a little more.
the Fluval FX5 and Eheim's canister filters are the best IMO... they both have their pros and cons.. i use both and i love both..
Ive also heard good things about RENA's XP line.. i have no experience with those.. so i shouldn't say anything other then what i have heard..

yeah if your on a budget the rena Xp3 is what i use for my 125 and it keeps my water crystal clear (and this tank is still at my parents so only gets cleaned when i go home once a month at best but it does have a light bioload), i LOVE it iv had it for at least 8 years and havent had to replace a single part yet, now that im redoing my tank and putting big, messy SA cichlids in there i will be adding another Xp3 to help do the job better and this filter costs like 1/3 the price of an eheim of similar capacity, cant say about the others as i have no experience with them but i have heard mixed reviews on the fluval, oh and with the new rena Xp4 i have heard of impellar problems so if you have a bigger tank i would do multiple Xp3s instead of one Xp4
