This is the one I am looking at:

TYPHOON 5 Stage

No experience but this seems to cover all the bases at a reasonable price.

There's a search link on every page, it gives results like these:

Plus the sponsor's forums...

Not being rude, you're just the 496th person to ask this same question this month.

The bulkreefsupply one is a great bang for your buck.

Ask questions whenever you want. This is a discussion forum and the whole point is to ask questions.

Specrtapure, Buckeye Filed Supply and The Filter Guys. All make great products and have excellent customer service. I have the air water ice typhoon 5 stage but I use filters from Buckeye Filed Supply because the ones that come with the AWI aren't the best imo. If I was buying new, I would personally choose any of the 3 I mentioned over the typhoon.

I have a filterguys, and it works well, but sometimes they take a while getting back to me, seems like I keep catching them closed for holiday or vacation.
Spectrapure always gets good comments, same as airwaterice.
Buckeye field supply, not only do I hear good about them, but I actually see them on the boards answering questions and explaining systems and maintenence questions fairly often, something to be said about that for sure.
