SWC cone - best bang for the buck. Competes with any high end model.

Disagree on your point there not the high end models like the red dragon, ehiem, Aquabee, MR Wilson for the price its not bad the impeller isnt all that great until it starts to warp

They have the mini-S cone style that would fit that build as well, slightly higher price, but smaller footprint (pump underneath vs to the side) which depending on your sump design may be nice.
No experience with the hydor one, so can't comment on it. But my SWC 160 cone works great.
