I have a Deltec APF600 and I think it's awesome. A couple of cupfuls of gunks every week. I think any of these three are very good from what I've read.

I have a Deltec APF 600, but I would hardly be pressed to say I get the most bang for my buck. I think you will be satisfied with any of the above choices.

Tunze will probably be best bang for the buck of the 3. Deltec and H&S will be the performers. I went with Deltec because I only have 25" of clearance in my stand. The Deltec APF600 is 23.5" and the comparable H&S is 29". But the H&S is cheaper.
