What skimmer should I get?

I'm looking for a new skimmer and I'm wondering what to get I have an eshopps skimmer and I hate it can never get it to work right.

I was interested in
http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef-o...n-skimmer.html

My tank is a 55 gallon the room I have for the sump is 10x7 and whatever height.. If I have to cut it bigger to make it 10x9 I can but I really would like to avoid cutting a bigger hole.

also the water level i can adjust

I am not sure if it will fit but check out a Reef Dynamics INS80 they are on sale today only I believe 15% off so about 220. I used to run one in my 55 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump it was tight but it fit, it has been my best skimmer to date for that size tank. RD like 7'' of water.

What Eshopps Skimmer do you have ? I have a S-120 and I love it. It works really great as well.
