Elos makes a nice unit as well, comes with a pump, hose & control. Just plug it in, set the sensor & you done.
I just installed a JBJ into my 165 gal & so far it's a good unit as well.

Don't know about best, but IMO, simple is better if you have the room to do it. By this I mean an elevated reservoir gravity feeding your sump/display through a simple mechanical float valve. Only a couple of failure modes & no electrical gizmos to break.

I got 2 Tunze ato and so far no issues, sensor is a bit sensitive, a bad angle can throw it off but it's easy enough to manage. My vote is for Tunze but mind you I have never tried the Elos unit.

I have had Tunze and other top off systems but nothing has worked better than the Genesis Storm system never failed tones of backup protection and is refills your fresh water from your ro/di unit. I have not touched it since i set it up... going to buy the renew to do auto water changes too. Just my honest opinion nothing works better than tried and tested float switches they never get film on them and in my case always work. tunze you replace too many pumps if you forget to top off your bin.
