If you're able, you should just start visiting all these stores, as many as you can get to. Gather all the information you can from these and the Internet, and then sort through it all. Read all the customer reviews on the Net and in magazines, and then you can filter your information for what might apply to your own situation.

To ask these kind of questions won't really help you unless you're willing to do the work as well, and find out after many months of browsing and research what appeals to you personally.

Also, you might try to see as many hobbiests' tanks as will allow you, that is the best way to see which types of setups are in your ballpark as far as price, effort, time and aesthetics.

As for IA, when you search the boards for people's experiences with them you'll get an idea of what to expect. Local customers seem to get better service as long as they're patient and/or tenacious. Otherwise just order your tank and sump from your LFS and let them asnwer to you. Either way, you can order what you want. But do the research first, OK?
