Even if both are considered reliable I'd choose an external (not HOB) overflow anyday. No holes drilled in the tank itself and it's strictly gravity without any reliance on a siphon. Even if both are safe I'd choose the external. Better with resale too since 99% of reefers would prefer a true overflow as opposed to a tank that's not 'reef-ready'.

LOL, thinking like this is how I ended up with 3 SW Sytems now,...Picking up number 4 this wkend so I can shut down two of them, the new one is also external overflow with some other niceties incorporated into the build.
