Question Best Titanium Heater

What would everyone consider the best titanium heater? I have used Finnex in the past and have had no issues. Others say bad things about them. What are some experiences with other heaters you have had?

I have been using an Aquamedic titanium heater without problems for many months. I control it with an ATC 300 controller. A lot of folks in the UK also use AM titanium heaters.

The best heater is controlled by ranco. I have a 300 watt Finnex, I also have Ebo Jagers and Via Aqua. All are good but they can go out.

I also use the Aqua Medic heater, controlled by Profilux. It has been working nicely for the last two years.

I have been using a JBJ 500w Tru-Temp heater, controlled by my Apex, for going on 5 years with no problems. However, I know its just a matter of time now so I have a 500w Finnex titanium waiting to replace the JBJ.
