Depends on the application. Is it a return from a sump or in a closed loop or are you depending on the return from the sump to be the main source of water movement?

For a return, I like MagDrive. For a wavemaker I prefer Tunze.

I'm not a big fan of them. I've got a Tunze 6101 on a single controller in my 70 gallon. It's perfect for my tank.
