Which large chiller do you recommend?

I am planning a 375g tank and a 300g tank connected with 130g sump. I will have:
an ETSS 1800 skimmer with a Iwaki 100 pump for flow,
1- Iwaki 40 pump for overflow,
2- dolphin 4700 pumps for closed loop,
1- Iwaki 100 maybe for the chiller,
8- 400w MHs, four for each tank.

I have been told that I need to get a 1 hp chiller.

I have looked some at Aqualogic, Pacific Coast, SeaLine, and TradeWinds. Some cost considerable more than others.

Which do you folks with big tanks recommend? And maybe, which do you not recommend?

Money is not my only concern, but I do have considerably less than I did when I started this project.

Thanks for the help!!

Eddie

Additional info:
I live in east Tennessee
Max temp is rarely over 95F, usually less than 90.
Tanks are in basement, outside walls approximately ½ under ground.
Wife keeps the house around 68-70F upstairs.

Thanks again.
