I run the Hydor 1000 Recirc, and would also put it up against all the others.
I can say it works great, even better since I modded the intake pump to also be a venturi... This mod tripled or more the skimmate production and darkness of it, very blackish and stinky. All hydor owners, this is a worthwhile mod.
