I've always had a Sump mostly because I'd rather everything in a water tight tank, less hassles that way

That was my biggest concern as well. A month after I set up the sump my old super skimmer starting overflowing up and above the collection cup. Luckily i had it setup inside the sump rather than on the back of the display where it was for almost 10 months. Phew. Ive only had experiance with the Coralife SS, Remora, and Vertex In. Other than a mild hum and slight air noise from the Vertex, Its defiantly been the most consistent and effective skimmer ive owned so far. Price was also reasonable sitting somewhere around the 200$ mark.
