Hi -

Specifically what brand of pumps are know to be / thought to be the 'best'?
I've seen price ranges (at 2000 to 3000 GPH) from $ 169 to $ 469.

The OASE aquamax 3700 seems to fit the bill - at about $ 350 - but is there
something better? [I don't mind spending a few extra bucks for energy
efficiency and lifetime].

Thanks!
