I would say spectrapure it costs a bit more but you get a lot more with the unit, very nice for money. I went a full year on the original filters.

Only you can answer that question. We don't know what your needs are or your budget.

If you what the best I'd look at the spectra pure's web sight.

However the other company's make offer fine units that should be fine for any reef system.

After doing my research, like you are doing, I decided to invest a few more dollars and purchased the best I could find - SpectraPure MaxCap. Money very well spent IMHO...
My $.02,
