I voted mag drive because I don't have experience with the others. Mag drives are pretty bullet proof IMO.

I currently run a Mag12 of my tank and find it too loud.
Id probably go with anything that would be quieter and reliable.

Hmm, I have a MAG 12 also and it's virtually silent. Maybe try a new impeller?

I use Ocean Runners for my return and skimmer. I find them to be pretty quite.

I run a Mag 950 on a 1.5" return from my sump. While quiet, I think it could be quieter. In particular, I get a hum that I think is transmitting throught the bottom glass pane of the sump and then my hardwood floors. I have a piece of foam under it, but it doens't help much. Heat transfer doesn't seem to bad (but then again, it's a small pump).

Has anyone tried Oase sumbmersible pumps?
