I have not used the other three pumps, but I can tell you from experience that the Quiet One 3000 is NOT quiet. They're also unreliable, as in, just stops running at random.

I second that on the quiet one. I have had 3 and had to send them back because they are to the extreme loud.

I have 4 Ocean Runners and swear by them. I had a Quiet One burn up and electrify my tank so they make me uncomfortable. I have no experience with the other two. Another option would be an Eheim 1250 or 1260 but they are quite a bit more expensive and really no better than an OR at half the price and lower wattage.
