Octo, vertex, or bubble magnus

I have a 150, with 20g sump. Which skimmer is better for the money? Which is all around better?

The octopus, vertex, or Bubble Magnus?

Sorry for the questions, new to big tanks, only have done nanos!

I would go with an Octopus extreme 200 or 250.

The Tunze is too small. If you get bubble magus make sure it has the aquabee pump for best results. Octo extreme/MSX good choice. I personally prefer bubble magus, But there's more info at RC on octopus in case you need any help with mods etc...
