Recommended protein skimmer?

my tank is a 29 gallon and i am looking for a protein skimmer. What am i looking for in a skimmer? Are there any preferred brands out there?

i should note that i plan on using a sump (about 10 gallon size). I also see things like gallons per hour and Liters P/H

Eshopps PSK-75 is nice, you could also use an AquaC Remora and hang it on the side of the sump to save space.

i have a Reef Octopus NW-150 that i am going to be using foy my 29 gallon tank w/20 gallon sump... Yes, it might seem like overkill since its rated for up to 150 gallons. But i got it for a steal (brand new) and if i ever upgrade to soemthing larger i can reuse it.
