I have had Herbie overflows for years and I am happy with them.
When I first read the Beananimal overflow thread on RC, I would not see any advantage to it over the Herbie overflow. Maybe I am missing something, but to me a Herbie works fine and the Beananimal overflow seems like unnecessary complexity for no reason.

You only need as many valves in the BA as you do in the Herbie. I am also a huge fan of the Herbie, but generally employ them on tanks that have the corner overflow pre-built only. Redundancy is an immensely important and often overlooked paradigm in this hobby.

+ 1 for the herbie. It simple with a smaller footprint. Also very quiet. Do it right the first time. Difficult to redo your sump once you've got you tank started! The best thing is to call the local glass stores. When I built my sump, local glass stores in Coquitlam wanted $$$$$$ for the baffles.....so I decided to give Vancouver Glass a call. Definitely worth the drive into Vancouver to save $$$ Good luck Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
