I have a 60-gallon tank and I'm going to buy a Canister Filter for it so that I can setup my tank for Reverse Undergravel Flow (RUGF).

The only problem is, I'm not sure which brand/model of filter to purchase. I've been reading all types of reviews, and people swear by different brands. I'm considering these models so far:

RENA Filstar XP 2 ($167)
Fluval 305 ($180)
EHEIM Classic 2215 ($160)

This is rougly my price range. I need a filter that won't leak at all (I have hardwood floors). And is easy to use (the self-priming ones seem attractive). Let me know what you guys think.

Ive had a Fluval, nice but can be loud. Ive never had an Eheim. I currently have an Rena XP2 running on my 44G tank and I LOVE IT!! So far its the best canister filter Ive had! Its very quiet and works like a charm!!
